There are loads of 'Titanic' jokes.

It appears that it is only the passage of time that makes it acceptable to make fun of the fate of the passengers.

I can't work this out. How long should we wait before we start taking the p**s?

Will the N.Y. Twin Towers tragedy eventually become a subject for humour, "New York, New York, so good they suicide bombed it twice".

I don't think so.

Regarding cremations.

At my Mam's funeral I asked if they could leave the curtains open as we left the place.

We touched the coffin and said goodbye as we walked out without having to deal with that awful sense of finality as the curtains closed....
