no it didn't lighten up the mood at all, it just made us all incredibly sad. lightening up the mood is like "they're in a better place~" not "well you don't have a mom anymore"
i hate it too but this was a super religious funeral so i would've preferred to hear it over a list of things that this girl will never get to do with her mom. (to be fair her mom was suffering from terminal cancer so really, in this case she was in a better place)
