Tacky or Classy? Balloons at a Funeral

Balloons at a funeral complete with a card that reads: "I know there's a party in heaven right now welcoming (insert loved one's name here)."I vote tacky.

A few things come to mind: 1. What if the family/deceased is atheist? 2. Whatever happened to flowers? Balloons? Really? Nothing says, "thinking of you during this terrible time of grief" like balloons.  Now let's throw a few shots back and celebrate death! Yee-haw? No. 3. What if the person you deliver the balloons is allergic to latex?

So, those of you that think this is a good idea - stop inhaling the helium and come to your senses!
