My last surviving grandparent died almost exactly one year ago. She was living in a home and had pretty severe dementia so we were kind of prepared for it. The funeral was a legit dumpster fire, and pretty funny in retrospect though.

>Get dressed and go into the city for Nana's funeral

>Immediately get lost & drive around side streets for a while

>Finally find the cemetery and meet up with other relatives

>We're the only ones there, no priest, no staff, just some groundskeepers working on the other side of the cemetery

>Stand around in our suits in the bitter cold and wonder wtf is going on

>Suddenly my aunt comes over the hill purple in the face and dragging an illiterate Mexican groundskeeper by the sleeve

>They dug the wrong fucking grave

>We get our stuff together and go over to Nana's not-final resting place

>Priest still isn't there

>Finally a dude hustles up and explains that the funeral home or whatever couldn't find a Catholic priest to do the ceremony (Nana was diehard Irish Catholic)

>We're getting an Orthodox priest instead

>Orthodox priest shows up and starts chanting in Greek or some shit and swinging incense around

>Everyone deeply uncomfortable

>After ceremony aunt refuses to leave until the Mexican groundskeepers actually start digging her mother's actual grave

>Mexicans on break so it takes a while

>Go out to lunch afterwards and my dad almost gets in a legit screaming match with my uncle over DRUMPF (had just gotten elected the previous month)

>On our way back out of the city we get caught in rush hour traffic and don't get home until like 7:00 at night

It was fun
