I am at the age where I seem to be attending a lot of funerals. Attended three since 2005, my grandad (mums side), my uncle (mums brother) and then a grandmother (dads mum) this year.
My grandpa is nearly 91 and my other grandma is 81 so they will be more to come :(. A lot of my relatives have hit that risky age of being in their 60's too.
Just don't do what my uncles (mums brother) father in law did and took over at my grandads funeral meaning I was three rows back at my own grandad who I was very close to funeral. I couldn't here some of it and it still upsets me today. He tried to to the same at uncles funeral but my grandma stopped him and said "family only here".
My grandmother who died this years funeral was well organised in the fact it was organised on proper family order so people didn't get the chance to push in.
Funerals are always difficult as everybody is upset, when this person pushed in at my grandads funeral something which normaly would not bother me really really upset me.
Five years as passed and the entire thing about my grandads death still upsets me, he was 78 when he died but due to many failings I am still convinced he had a few more happy years left.
