Making a joke in a serious situation

My jokes aren't funny, but I do it anyway.

The only situation I think you shouldn't joke in is a funeral. Especially if it's a bad joke. That's just downright disrespectful.

Everything else is fine.

I made a joke at my father's funeral.
It wasn't meant to be funny- its awkward.
But somehow it relieved alot of tension.

I was standing next to my sister (she is like 120 lbs) and she was holding my brothers (185 lbs) and fathers (230 lbs) ashes. And I said bet you'd never thought you'd be carrying dad and Tim. She smiled and cried and said that wasn't funny.
I felt the same way.
It made us feel better.
