What do you think the most inappropriate song to have played at a funeral is ?

Going underground by The Jam ?

At my dad's funeral they wouldn't allow me to play meatloaf - bat out of hell.

It was his favourite song yet that didn't matter.

At my best mate's funeral he had chosen his own songs, as he had a terminal illness. But, as his coffin was on the conveyor belt about to go through the curtains his music stopped and the crematorium reverted to their own music.

He went through the curtains to Bach's Air On A G-String - the tune that was used in the Hamlet cigar adverts. I said to a friend "I see they've struck a light for him".

I can’t believe how long I scrolled until I got to “I will survive” haha. That was my first thought.

Much of this list should be played at mine but most importantly, “always look on the bright side of life”. It is a requirement at mine. Ha. - Mrs Cagey.

Mr, Cagey (I am fairly certain) just hopes for me to do stunts with his corpse like flying over the room and such. I would oblige, that’s what makes us an excellent couple. Then I assume he wants a fist fight between some distant relatives as that happened at the last one he went to and he was really amused.

One of my friends had it at his. He was well into mx and was always being played at races, he had that kind of humour. His parents were fine with it. All of us wore mx gear and had a smile at his final choice xx

I heard of one where the deceased had been active in the local pantomime..

The organist, a friend, as the curtain closed broke from solumn music to a medley of songs associated with pantomimes... Everyone clapping and singing...

It was something that had been promised..
