Serious answer (but then I'm probably closer to the actual day than most of the young whippersnappers on here!) - Nimrod by Elgar
Abide with Me

"Abide With Me" is often selected for the deceased by people hoping they are doing the right thing with something safe. My Dad and I went to the 1983 cup final and sang "Abide with Me" side by side. Five years later, at the Downs crematorium, it was a hugely poignant reminder of the happiest day of our Albion supporting lives.

Sublime piece of music and fabulous to sing

 

[Mick Beard BHA]

Most music tends to send me off at funerals. I went to this one, he was more of an acquaintance than a friend, but they played 'Dedicated Follower of Fashion" by The Kinks. Mainly coz he used to sing it at his local karaoke, but also coz he had truly awful dress-sense. It was so funny yet at the same time it got everyone very emotional and tearful. Good choice i thought.

 

[Dave the OAP]
