Your funeral song

[Mr Whyte]

This would be my choice.

[All uphill]

"When I am lain in earth" Purcell.

That should have them crying even if they are not sure if I was the big chap on a small bike or the small chap on a big bike.

 

[sheddy]

Reasons to be cheerful, Ian Dury.

 

[Levo-Lon]

Comfortably Numb going out

Do I love you, going in

 

[Landsurfer]

"Go West" .... Pet Shop Boys .....

 

[crossfire]

Yeah Comfortably Numb would be my choice to go out with. Had a friend who had Stairway to Heaven, not felt the same about that song since.
On a wild note, how about entry with Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Welcome to the Pleasure Dome.................too much?

 

[NorthernDave]

Still undecided, but it will probably come down to either
Don't Fear The Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult


or Heroes by David Bowie

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

When any parts that can be useful to others have been 'harvested' (heart/liver/kidneys/corneas/etc..) my wife can do as she wishes with the remainder
Legally, of course

I have suggested 2 songs, whilst I am in no way/shape form religious, it'll confuse everyone & make them think I was
(I just like the songs/singers)

It's a good choice, and it's your funeral so have whatever you want.

 

[Chris S]

This is going to be the last piece of music at my cremation.

[CanucksTraveller]

Nothing mawkish or sentimental, I've been to a few funerals where the lyrics were too raw and everyone's in floods of tears and just further devastated by a really touching or emotional song.
Something nice, upbeat, just a favourite song that isn't about passing on, or missing someone... perhaps "Sound and Vision" by Bowie... who wouldn't want to be carted away to that bass line.

 

[PeteXXX]

Wagner's Ring Cycle.
All of it...

 

[Dave7]

For me a hole in the garden or the cheapest cremation would do.
However, I think the family would like a chance to celebrate my death, sorry, life. In which case I fancy this Neil Diamond one.

You can’t always get what you want - Rolling Stones.

Not that want any sort of funeral but what will I know.

"When I am lain in earth" Purcell.

Good choice. Can't in wrong with Dildo's Lament.
