Only a week or so ago, I attended a funeral ...the final song was "always walk on the bright side of life" A few of the congregation attempted to join in, but to be honest the vast majority (as did I) looked very uncomfortable. I decided there and then most definitely not for me. Believe me, its about as original as a Benidorm hen night dress attire

My dad was a musician and one of his favourites was the original “Fanfare for the common man” by Copeland, so he came in that. That was very fitting.

I actually found that choosing songs with my Mum and Brother enjoyable and somewhat cathartic. Now every time I hear the songs used, or some considered, it puts a smile on my face.

I do want my family to choose one song for this reason.

As a Choral Music lover, my choice would be, "Nesciens Mater" by Jean Mouton. (John Eliot Gardner / Monteverdi Choir version is best).

The sublime Choral sounds are like the angels calling out as my coffin slides behind the curtain.

Being taken behind the curtain:

Everyone leaving

Not at all... My Dad passed very suddenly in January, so we were left adrift not knowing what he wanted...

Walk in: Flash.. Queen

Contemplating: Top Gear theme tune

Walk out: I want to break free

Queen were his band ... we chose to lighten the mood...if at all possible... made me and my sister giggle a little... and think he'd have laughed too

Don't worry do think you would mind lol"

I would be most upset, however knowing my daughter it would be a cardboard coffin, transit van to the crem and pocket the savings.

Well, for a crematorium, "Burning love," or "Smoke gets in your eyes" or "Ring of fire," either would be a glowing tribute, and add to the heart warming proceedings.

It would have to be the 9 min version, preferably the Montreal Olympic Stadium one.

How can Aarond Copland not like that?

A stripped back, accoistic version of wake me up by Avicii. The lyrics always resonate with me, that feeling of never quite getting to where you want to be in life.

Oh please share this with people you know! The frustrations over choosing songs for someone is difficult and getting others to agree.

There has been a post on this before, several years ago, and I was unfortunately going through it trying to find the song someone had put just so their wishes could be met.

"Sorry morbid I know but some great songs come out at a funeral have you thought or indeed heard any x"

It was my mums funeral a few weeks ago. We carried her coffin in to the YMCA. The theory was that if she didn’t jump up and dance (she loved cheesy tunes) - then she was definitely dead!

At mine I want ‘Thank you for the days’ by Kirsty McColl x
