My grandmother (my dad's mother) passed away yesterday. My brother and I made it up to see her and say goodbye before she passed. Family asked that my brother and I sing at the funeral, this should be a blasty.

Me too. What is a blasty?

A good time, but in this context complete sarcasm. I hate singing at funerals.

I didn't even know singing at funerals was a thing.

It's requested sometimes during the lowering of the casket. I've done it for a few funerals for members of the church, families ask me to sing the deceased's favorite hymn.

Never heard of this, is it a regional or cultural thing? The good thing is that you've been requested to perform the song. I had an inlaw who rather insistently offered to sing at my wedding, I had to tell her no several times.

Not really sure where the background in it is. My brother was asked to sing at my grandfather's funeral a few years back as well so I don't know if it's just the region or what.
Oh hell no
It's a regular thing at memorial and funeral services everywhere.

We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men. Edward R. Murrow
