    I didn't get emotional. It's a load of sentimental bollocks.

    I did get emotional, but then my parents are both very ill so it's an emotional time.

    I don't know what the OP was expecting from the cynics of DS because of course he was going to get the opposite of what he was intending. Seriously DS gives me no hope.

    Kind of snap. I felt tearful because my Nan has dementia and has no idea anymore that I am her Granddaughter and she thinks my children are nothing to do with our family. She kind of brought me up and I have days where the grief overwhelms me and its so hard to be with this wonderful person but their memory of everything has gone. I wrote her a card once just telling her I loved her and thankyou for being a great Nan but she just looked blank. Its very very hard to deal with so I felt tearful because of that.

    Nope just actual people speaking to actual living breathing relatives...it is however from a Funeral Insurance firm, but no actual dead bodies or people I am afraid.

    :( I'm so sorry - that must be tough. Do you have other relatives to talk to about it?.

    It's basically an advert from a company who are pretending to be altruistic to flog insurance or pre-paid funerals or something similar.

    It was a bit sweet, but a tad vomit-inducing at the same time.

    Well that's no good - lol. I'm weird, I can seem very unemotional, certainly in social situations, funerals etc. But on the other hand I also tend to be really sensitive - I just bottle it up and tend not to show it. I don't think I cried when my grandparents died but I do miss them. I was more worried about how to act at the funeral.

    Yes I do thankyou IzzyS. Its so hard not to be able to talk to her anymore, just to have a conversation instead of the same thing on permanent repeat.

    There must be something wrong with me as I thought that was a pile of crap as well.

    I get the words and the meaning behind them, but I find stuff like that more depressing than emotional.

    That chick making the first speech was smokin' :D

    Otherwise, just some scum-sucking corporation looking to turn a buck from exploiting people's sentimentalism.

    Reminds me of an upworthy video, where participants were first asked to write a letter to someone they cared about, and why they were so special to them. They were then handed a phone and told to phone that person, and read out their letter over the phone:

    Christ, that's even worse. :o

    Mawkish, whiny vocals.

    Lyrics so clumsy and hackneyed that they would disgrace a greetings card.

    That's not emotional; it's just awful.

    Your welcome. My grandmother is heading that way but not there yet, though she is in her 90s. She doesn't talk to me much when we visit but I presume she remembers me. At least there's always memories of when they were younger.

    I'm afraid my emotionality meter remained stubbornly stuck at zero.

    Great advertising ploy though.
