at my mothers funeral I had played the theme from the deer hunter very gentle and poinagnt and memorable to me

[Jim Brady]

I was at one and as the curtains closed at the crem the music that came on was Johnny Cash singing Ring Of Fire.Imagine the words to that "I fell in to that burning ring of fire"
Regards.

At my late Brother In Laws Funeral they played the song he choose and now each time i hear it,i think so much of him,a great Guy indeed! What a lovely way to remember someone! Well i think so anyway!
The song was "Hotel California" by the Eagles! What another great number!
Cheers

Eagles - Hotel California - Live '76 - YouTube

As the man said, 'you can check out any time you like but you can never leave'.

You could play, 'Now is the hour' often played as passenger ships sailed off

[happy daze john in oz]

Been to three funerals this year and not one tune between them.
I am thinking of maybe Sailing by Rod Stewart along with the sailors hymn.
Or of course for the mother in law, 'Yackety yack dont talk back'

my lads are good they are giving me a viking funeral they are collecting pallet boards and the canal is only a short walk. arn.t they goodjp

[Captain Kong]

My mate was a country and western singer and as the curtains closed, they plaed Jim Reeves "Adious Amigos", very appropiate, then someones mobile phone started ringing.
Good send off tho`, he had his cowboy hat and his dude boots on top of his coffin.
My other mate from school days was in a Barbers Shop Choir. he had the Barbers Shop Quartet singing throughout the funeral and then as we came out of the Chapel a Jazz Band was playing.

I am not going. Refuse to go and they cannot take you. [ it has worked so far ]
