This music was played at my Gran's funeral and I couldn't stop myself from laughing as the coffin went behind the curtains. I was mortified but I knew my Gran would of seen the humour of it too.

I went to one a few years back where he had "fire starter" as the curtains opened and his coffin went in the words "I'm a fire starter a twisted fire starter" blared out. It summed him up perfectly.

I got my dad a pair of musical socks with a removable music player for Xmas once, he wore them to go to work one day and got annoyed at them going off so he took the player out and put it in his jacket pocket. He thought nothing more of it until he wore the jacket to a friend's funeral a few weeks later when he put his hand in his jacket pocket and it started playing Jingle Bells in the middle of the crematorium!

I know it is a light-hearted thread so apologies for being a little too serious.

Many express their funeral wishes ... Jazz bands, no black, etc etc. But is the funeral not for the mourners? Are they really in the mood for that?
