Totally undecided on my exit music . Anything from Stone Dead Forever by Motorhead or Ecstasy of Gold by Ennio Morriconne.

However , I know that when the curtain draws over the coffin , I want the sound effect of The Tardis taking as my final swansong .

The Funeral by Band of Horses........top song !

 

[RexCathedra]

Missed the obvious, you lot.

Harry Nilsson, "Jump Into the Fire".

 

[Socialist Sid]

Not music, but at Brodie's funeral, ( the landlord at the Duke of Wellington, Shoreham ) just before the curtains closed was played the famous line of commentary from Kenneth Wolstenholme.

'They think it's all over.....,it is now"

Magnificent.

I've had my instructions put in my will and that is that just as the curtains close they shoot back open really fast, my coffin has a pop up picture of me with really outlandish 'music hall make up' pasted on it and to be accompanied by Wham, singing 'wake me up before you go go'

 

[Hugh'sDad]

This piece.......sombre, moving, and reminiscent of happy days in mexico - and not a little groovy.

 

[Blazing Apostle]

Gene - Olympian and everyone would have to sing chorus as loud as they could....that would be a good send off

 

[Trevor]

Pink Floyd - Great Gig In the Sky first
The reflective one after a loved one has said a few words Chas & Dave - The Sideboard Song
As the coffin leaves - Movin On Up

I was at a funeral service where they played this, there is a special sanitised version with "...life's a piece of grit...." substituted I learned.

I was a one where the deceased specifically requested the real version. The vicar (who knew my friend quite well) made a point of telling us this was the special request and he rolled his eyes (I'm sure for comic effect) when it got to the 'rude' words.

Worthing Crematorium has over 16,000 pieces of music on its computer system, I once had Sid Vicious My Way as we were bringing the coffin in, it wasnt until we were all ready to go that I remembered that Sid had slightly changed Paul Anka's lyrics, but no one batted an eye lid as the 'c' word blasted out from the speakers.

I saw that system a few years ago and there are so many songs on there that many would deem inappropriate.

Personally, as the curtain comes round and I head off on Brucie's final conveyabelt I would like Razorlight's Somewhere Else to be played.

Is that the 'Live in Gdansk' version? Just listening to it now, that album was the last Richard Wright ever played on

Thanks to this thread, just added this album to my itunes as it has my other funeral song Wot's uh the Deal?
