funeral song

[Norrin Radd]

i have had a bit of a think today and one thing led to another as i was listening to some old tunes on youtube. .
anyway the thing is ,what song would you have played at your funeral .
i would have "marmalade -reflections of my life "
so what would be your tune .

Always look on the bright side of life, from life of Brian. Being a Brian and having a Monty Python sense of humour, which those attending will recognise, it seems apt.

My son in law wants to be cremated to "Should I Stay or Should I Go" with the coffin going backwards & forwards through the curtain as it's playing.

When Will I See You Again by the Three Degrees, my family is aware and I expect my wishes to be carried out!!

Played that one at my Dad's funeral, don't think it was universally well received but hey-ho. As for mine, I fancy having the coffin sent away to the bridge that starts with the bass solo from "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac, or possibly "Blaze Away", which the Wimbledon speedway team used to come out to. Not sure about the ones to come in to or to leave to.

Enjoy the silence - depeche mode or there is a light that never goes out - the smiths.

That raised a titter with myself & Mrs BiM!

Mrs BiM said she could have that or "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" by Bon Jovi, and that there must be a bit of Rod Stewart there.

Edit; she also reckons "Bad Medicine" by Bon Jovi could be appropriate……….

Had this played at my Mum's and we were just in bits. One of the saddest pieces of music I know.

And to lift the mood then I'd maybe select Bernard Cribbins "Hole in the Ground"

Just asked Missis T what's her choice, just said " what a bloody thing to ask me ".
Back to call the midwife then.
