we all grieve differently for example when we had to plan my dad's funeral the director of the place asked "any poetry he loved?" but look he was an old british curmudgeon whose fav words were "bloody hell" so I started choke-laughing & my sister punched me HARD & the funeral guy didn't even bat an eye

@ElleGray when my father died, my sister and I were the first family a new mortician-in-training had dealt with, which resulted in a particularly memorable experience.

I played out the "your most modestly priced vessel" scene from the Big Lebowski, turning down all the upsells for cremation, at which point he said "ah, the 'bare-bones' package" before turning white as a sheet realizing what he'd just implied. There was a big silence and then my sister and I both burst out laughing histerically.

I like to imagine he thought that joke did really well and repeated it for "normal" grievers.
