John Cleese funeral speech

John Cleese holds an kind of unortodox funeral speech during the memorial service of Graham Chapman which was a part of the Monty Python crew. The quality is pretty bad though, but it is still a good video :)

Wow, He is the only person I have ever seen to have the crowd cracking up at a damn FUNERAL.

and how he can nicely make fun of people is beyond me

Graham's not dead. It's just a flesh wound.

I want my funeral to be like this! Great stuff! This is the way to remember people!

[stevenslava]

Watching this it makes me think "Why ARE our funerals so depressing?"

I mean, this should start a trend and have people remembered in a great way, instead of a heartbroken one

This speech really helped me get through my friend's death, who died very young. If you have never experienced someone your age that you were close to dying, I cannot begin to tell you how much of a heartbreaking experience it can be. He and I were in an improv troupe together for years, and after he died, I came upon this clip. It really helped me to put things in perspective and realize that even though my friend left early, I should celebrate his life rather than mourn his death.
