I've been to many funerals of funny people, and they're some of the funniest days you'll ever have, because the emotions run high.

My mum passing away wasn't funny, but that funeral and what I went through, the things that happened, looking back at it, there were funny moments. You have to be strong enough to look back at it, to sit and assess the situation.

There are a lot of funny things that happen in one's life.

I just heard a very funny story about somebody who died yesterday, I'm sorry to say so but it was so absurd that you can't help laughing. And the person that was concerned about that story was laughing too.

If you look at anything, there are always comedic moments.

Sometimes in the most tragic situation, something just profoundly funny happens.

I'm trying to make sure that there's comedy as well as sadness. It makes the sadness more memorable.

When we are dealing with death we are constantly being dragged down by the event: Humor diverts our attention and lifts our sagging spirits.

Life was a funny thing that happened to me on the way to the grave.

There is something irresistibly funny about a funeral. More basically, I think the point is that beyond the deepest tragedy, there is laughter. Even in the midst of tragedy, there is always the possibility for it.
