Demetri Martin came up with this joke but it's "I'm sorry" and "I apologize".

"Speaking of a funeral, yours is coming up, Red."

Just got done discussing life insurance with a neighbor. This made me literally lol.

Not always. As in the case of a funeral, but certainly not exclusive to funerals, “I’m sorry,” can be an expression of sympathy without the apology for fault that we also associate with the saying.

I use it that way almost exclusively. I'll occasionally add a clarifier like I'm sorry you had to go through that.

If you're in the US they still mean the same thing
