    is all a load of balls choosing how you wish your funeral will be as if you'll know or even enjoy the tunes/words.

  3. Exactly its all a performance to ease and aid the grief of those you leave behind
    And thats a good thing in my eyes

    I hope theres a baby crying or a young child singing the wrong song at my funeral

    When I worked for a local council I was auditing the Grave diggers and Cemetary staff and in their funerals list for the day was a 100 yr old and sadly a new born so sometimes the one out, one in doesn't follow to plan :(

  10. I've always thought "Days" by The Kinks would be a good one too.

    Lucky enough the op went ok,

  17. At my brothers funeral the exit music was Mr Blue Sky, ELO. It was March, very cold, but a lovely clear sky.

    I want to make people cry at mine, so have chosen this,

    I'd quite like to have this played too, but because I'd be having a non believers funeral not sure they'd allow it. Still it's beautiful religious or not, and I should have added Alison Krauss to my lady crush list as well :thumbsup:


    By the by, cannot abide bloody Tears in Heaven :mad:

  19. one of my mountain bike mates had Pink Floyd - Time at his funeral. it was a bit grim to begin with, listening to alarm clocks and wind for the intro but everyone smiled when the actual music kicked in.
