Fun at your funeral...

[Zlatan]

Not the best post considering the current circumstances! I lay my wife to rest on the 11th Feb and I have changed the 3 songs that are asked for so many times.

Keep your ideas coming please. Dad died on Sunday and mum died last night.

Double funeral coming up on 16th February.

My sincere condolences to you both, just returned to the thread as I posted 3 replies earlier. I deeply apologise if I have caused any offence to either of you.

Sorry for your double loss. I lost my mother in October 92 years old (dad passed away in 1994) The three tunes played at her cremation were mainly chosen by her. Doris Day When I grow too old to dream. Perry Como Abide with me and finally Nana Mouskouri White rose of Athens..

ClaretAL and Funkydrummer, so sorry for the loss of your loved ones. Can’t imagine how difficult it is in these strange times.

I prefer a gentle piece of music like Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings or Bizet’s The Pearl Fishers. But so many beautiful pieces to choose from.

I’ve been to funeral where Going Underground was played.

I suggested that to a funeral director earlier this year for a guy whose hobby was underground trains. We settled on something boring, but they did a service sheet with a tube train on it.

I'd like the section of messeians ascension where the clouds break and the guy gets lifted up to the skies. Fantastically powerfully.
I've heard it played after a wedding or two. If there were any relatives teetering on the edge, a rousing performance of that should help them see the light.
The only problem is that you need a proper organ or massive sound system to pull it off in a church.

We had the 3 before 8 that were played at Wigan Casino allnighters at my wife's funeral. Long after tonight is all over, I'm on my way and Time will pass you by.

Considering I will probably be murdered by one of my exes Puddle of Mud - She Hates Me.

Do you legally have to comply with the conventional funeral arrangements ?

There is that advert on TV which now claims to dispose your remains without any sort of service at a bargain price.

Taking things further, surely, the family have the right to the corpse and, thus, can choose the method of (legal) burial ?


I take that thowing me in the canal would be inappropriate but the local council recycling centre could have a (paid) option for getting shut of cadavers.
