Music to leave the mortal coil behind by

[toyboy54]

Looking for some help on this please folks.I'm sure that we had this as a topic some time ago....but can't find it.Anyone give me a link to this please as I'm looking for some ideas(not ready to pop my clogs yet but getting things in place i.e body to science).Do recall that Samuel Barber's Adagio For Strings was one chosen option?

Yazz - oh yes

...given your location might you think of something perhaps Scottish/West of Scotland/Highland/Hebridean?

Keep them coming folks...especially some humourly ones as want some laughs for the small attendees(numbers wise)!

Proclaimers perhaps?

Well I do expect Sunshine on Leith being a favourite at the parting of Hibees fans - I can just see and hear the congregation or gathering singing along

More generally - maybe a wee bit of Roderick?

I don't believe that they play any music at the crematorium.
When they inter my ashes along with those of my dogs, I suspect that there won't be anybody there but the cemetery workers.
What's in their ear buds I'll never know!

At a crematorium there's always "relight my fire" and "Smoke gets in your eyes" (various versions available)

Fire by The Crazy world of Arthur Brown or Disco Inferno ?

My son in law wants "Should I Stay or Should I Go", with the coffin going backwards & forwards through the curtains.

 

[Orikoru]

I'd request one of my band's own songs, just to make people suffer it one last time.

Told that wife that I wanted "It's getting hot in here" and "Burn Baby Burn" at my cremation - she wasn't impressed

My neighbour was carried into the Crematorium with ‘Halfway to Heaven’ and then ‘Smoke Gets In Your Eyes’ as the curtain closed. It was a Humanist Funeral, ie no singing, praying or lesson reading, just a 30 minute eulogy of his life. I had thought I knew him quite well, but I discovered that he had a car racing license, a PPL and had spent a while inside. Whilst of course it was sad to loose him from this world, the ceremony was the ‘happiest’ funeral that I’ve ever attended.
