[Cadiz Seagull]

Nimrod by Elgar

Abide with me

And one other tba

 

[pasty]

[Gritt23]

Sometimes it snows in April, by Prince. That's the one I want, the other 2 can be traditional funeral stuff like Jerusalem and Abide with Me.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

 

[gong]

Going in, C,O,D (care of the devil) AC/DC.
During, burn in hell Twisted Sister.
Leaving, Another one bites the dust Queen.
I have these in my will along with Good Old Sussex by
the sea as a hymn.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

'Goldfinger' by Shirley Bassey - got to keep it (sur)real to the bitter end. Would love to see people's faces when that blasted out as the coffin went off behind the curtain. Failing that, another Bassey classic 'Big Spender' would do:

"The minute you walked in the joint..."

 

[Barry Izbak]

GOSBTS

Abide With Me

(That's Just) The Way it is - Bruce Hornsby and The Range
