What will you choose?

[Jemisa]

Pink Floyd are one of my fav's, trying not to be too morbid PFs' Albatross' will be played at my funeral as the mourners arrive.(Its all in my will) + 2 other songs that have had a big influence in my life.
'Without You' by Neilson to be played within the service and Simply Reds 'Every Time we Say Goodbye' as the mourners leave....
Who else has made stipulations in their will?
(You've got to talk about it now,) or some abscure music you would have hated could be played.

I want Dobie Gray's 'Drift Away' as my coffin goes down the shute -

"Give me the beat boys, and free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll, and drift away ..."

but I haven't put it in my will. i have asked the present Mrs Hughes to see to it, and trust that she will.

But seriously how can you better Graham Chapman's Fulneral -"always look on the bright side of life?" and John Cleese saying "I'd like to be the first person to say f**k at this fulneral"

Rob Thomas - Now comes the night
When the hour is upon us
And our beauty surely gone
No you will not be forgotten
No you will not be alone

And when the day has all but ended
And our echo starts to fade
No you will not be alone then
And you will not be afraid
No you will not be afraid

When the fog has finally lifted
From my cold and tired brow
No I will not leave you crying
And I will not let you down
No I will not let you down
I will not let you down

Now comes the night
Feel it fading away
And the soul underneath
Is it all that remains
So just slide over here
Leave your fear in the fray
Let us hold to each other
Until the end of our days

When the hour is upon us
And our beauty surely gone
No you will not be forgotten
No you will not be alone
No you will not be alone

I went to a funeral of a very disabled friend who had had a hard life and she had
" Somewhere over the rainbow" played. Another I went to we sang "Que sera ,sera" She was a young woman who had had a long diagnosis of cancer and had filled her last years to the brim . RIP .
I have no wishes at all for mine but PLEASE not " I did it my way"
Cremation and scattering of ashes on the beach will do me.

I would want my funeral to be a happy occasion (as much as it could be). I adore music so a variety of upbeat tracks would be played. But to be honest I do not want a church service.

[Jemisa]

Although I call it a funeral I really want to be cremated & at the crematorium where my birth family have been before me. My ashes to be scattered in the green fields of the countryside where I played as a child.in Somerset. These wishes are all in my will.
The wake to be held in the local pub.

I want Elvis (or Willie Nelson)'s 'Always On My Mind' (sentimental reasons) and I would also like 'Love Changes Everything' by Michael Ball.

I would love to play 'Hoots Mon, There's A Moose Loose Aboot This Hoose'... the people there would appreciate the humour as I've always been a joker, but I suppose it would be a bit irreverant and my children may not appreciate it at the time.

Redcrx - Those words are soo beautiful, I hadn't heard of Rob Thomas so I looked him up on Google and saw him singing that song on Youtube, Really lovely.
Thankyou.

Rob Thomas was the lead singer with matchbox twenty, another great band.

[Booldawg]

Good link Jake. It was an interesting read going through the comments at the bottom of the page.

I've chosen Queen, Another one Bites the Dust

[Thesweeper]

Pink Floyd are my fav's to and I want 'Is There Anybody out There'? just before proceedings start!

[ttfn]

No you're not tt - same for me and a bit of Nimrod

[SMP]

We had Nimrod as we went in to my Mum's funeral and Amarillo as we left. She would always march around the room like Peter Kay when it came on. Everyone said it was a fitting goodbye for her.

[Backdrifter]

Peter Gabriel - The Washing of the Water
Radiohead - Pyramid Song

[MarkRae]

If cremated...............Smoke gets in your eyes.

If buries...............Another one bites the dust.
