Yeah, my family is the type to crack jokes at the wake, have a quick cry, then start asking if the food’s ready yet because that’s all we came for (deeeeep southern). The wings of the family that are “married in” generally have the most awestruck looks on their faces. But they should have known what they were gettin into when they married in. I almost pity the funeral director that had to deal with my father and my aunt over their parent; almost, but not quite (we’re cheap too). My dad’s words were, “Daddy’s dead, even if he did like maple and gold more than hickory and brass, he damn sure can’t complain about it now.”
