Please correct the following sentences, Thank you.

Uncle would talk less, but laugh at anything and everything with or without reasons. While he hung his umbrella on his shoulder, he wore his laughter in his sleeves. But, it seemed grotesque, and people grimaced when he laughed at something during sombre situations like funerals. “How could you laugh in such situations? Are you mad? What is in a funeral to laugh at’?” my mother would snarl at him when she got upset with his untimely and out of place laughing. But, uncle didn’t stop laughing, he laughed through his life not giving a fig to what others thought about his laughter

Hi,

Pretty good writing. Please read carefully to find my edits.

Uncle would talk little, but laugh at anything and everything with or without reasons.

While he hung his umbrella on his shoulder, he wore his laughter in his sleeves. You seem to think these are idioms. They are not, so they sound odd to me.

But it seemed grotesque, and people grimaced when he laughed at something during sombre situations like funerals. “How can/could you laugh in such situations? Are you mad? What is in a funeral to laugh at?”, my mother would snarl at him when she got upset with his untimely and out of place laughing. But uncle didn’t stop laughing. He laughed all through his life, not giving a fig for/about what others thought about his laughter.

Best wishes, Clive
