This happened last year, but I saw another post that reminded me of this.
I was at my girlfriend's dad funeral last year, he did not died of Covid, but I didn't wanted to go to a place full of people but I went it anyway, to support my girlfriend and her family. I never know how to behave in a funeral, I just talk normally to people, talk about life, do jokes, like a normal day.
All her family and friends gathered around when a Priest came to do a prayer (it was at least 30 people around her father in a small room). The priest started with a lot of words of comfort and things about the bible, and he asked everyone to pray "Our Father" and "Hail Mary" (I think these are the names in english), but as everyone is praying, he is "throwing" droplets of water at the deceased with a little stick filled with holy water.
While he was swaying the stick at my girlfriend's father, the metal tip of the stick broke and ALL of the holy water inside flew to the the coffin and the body. The tip of the stick flew to the ground making a loud sound... A few people kind of stuttered but still finished all the prayers.
Me? I closed my eyes, look down and WITH ALL MY STRENGHT tried no to laugh. But with the sound of the tip rolling to the floor, and the priest trying to clean the coffin and my girlfriend's dad face I couldn't hold it. I left the room while they were finishing the prayer and I started to laugh so hard (but very silent) and tears falling down on my face from the laugh. 30 seconds later my girlfriend went after me and I was so embarrassed and trying to find a excuse, but I looked at her and she was LAUGHING so hard and we laughed together for a few minutes about the situation and I didn't felt so embarrassed anymore.
TL;DR: Priest gave my girlfriend's dad a bath at the funeral and I couldn't hold my laughter.
