funerals blow, theres no other way to put it. I've been to two in the past year and that was more than enough for me, one was my dad's best friend and the other was mine. I did the same thing as you though, i told his dad about a funny story that I knew he didn't know about. It revealed a very sincere but very sorrowfull smile, not sure whether it was good or not. Our other friends did the same thing that yeilded the same response. It is natural human instinct to try to cheer people up, i've tried to do it to other people and other people have tried to do it to me, but funerals are a sad time. Sometimes its just best to let the deceased loved one's greive.
