What song do you want played at your funeral ?

[Prince Monolulu]

Not that it matters in the slightest as you won't know

 

[AnotherArch]

A friend of mine said that he wants 'The Laughing Policeman', with the congregation joining in.

I actually chose that at my Dad's funeral to go out to, as that was his 'party piece' at family do's, etc. He came in in to Sussex by the Sea, and one of the hymns was Abide With Me.

I always used to say 'Anything by George Formby', but this probably sums up "me" better...

Four seasons ...Vivaldi....the whole bloomin lot and already arranged

Given this one some thought. You need a song that's reflective but not overly sentimental. I also think it's important to pick a song that isn't widely played on radio and TV. My aunt had Lady in Red played at her funeral. Her parents survived her and were consequently in bits when they heard it after, which was quite often.

Therefore... I'd like everybody present to dance like Jarvis please

The intermezzo from cavalleria rusticana....( see ' Raging Bull ' beginning and end and ' Godfather 3 ' end )...stunningly beautiful piece of music, which I loved when I first heard it and still sends shivers down my spine.

 

[MattBackHome]

Ich bin der welt abhanden gekommen.

Knock 'em bandy.

That was my wedding entrance music. Not sure the wife would get the irony if I also had it as my death tune...

[Seagull58]

I'm coming in to White Man in Hammersmith Palais, the eulogy is followed by Papa Was a Rolling Stone and I'm going out to I'm on Fire. I'm being cremated.

 

[Megazone]

how would you know they played it? and why would you care what was played at your funeral anyway?

NEWSFLASH -when you die thats it.......game over!

 

[Danny-Boy]

I'd also like a poll asking whether Thatcher, Bellotti or my death moved you the most.

I just had a full dump (my second of the day) so difficult to say right now. But I think it might be you.

is my first choice.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Hopefully get a bit of advance warning, max out every credit card and charge card known to man and then zap 'em with this...

 

[burnee54]

Just this one.
Hoping it will all be over by the time the song finishes.
(I know you've all got busy lives to get on with and I don't want to keep you.)
