History Main / ItsAlwaysSunnyAtFunerals

This trope is usually part of a MeaningfulFuneral scene. Writers, take note: rain, shine, snow, overcast and pretty much every other type of weather are all symbolic of ''something'' during funerals, so if you want to write a funeral scene, just go ahead and use whichever one feels right; we're not judging.

the sun is the only thing shining.\\
Not a cloud in the sky,\\
no hint of you.\\
And I will always regret...\\
