"My Way" is top funeral choice

[Blue Til Death]

I love Welsh hymns in a minor key so "O the deep deep love of Jesus" in church then Barber's Adagio on way in to crem - maybe Nimrod on way out or even Cohen's Anthem (that's how the light gets in).

Mind you one guy I knew chose something from the Wizard of Oz. We expected Somewhere over the Rainbow but it was "I am the king of the forest" by the cowardly lion. Oddest I heard was someone chose Norman Wisdom's "Don't laugh at me cos I'm a fool".

I prefer Welsh Hers but each to their own....

Just scrolled down to the last post and the advert below it is for a funeral director.... Anyone else have the same?

The most ethereal version of Blue Moon is by the Mavericks, beautiful and haunting:

Ps. If you use it for yours, then don't forget a little gift in your will. Cheers ;-)

I will have this version of Blue Moon by Ian McCulloch - not only because its by one of my fave artists but also as it was in the Jimmy Grimble film too

In
Una furtive lagrima from l’elisir d’armore sung by Vittorio Griggolo

Out
Double Lifetime by Loudon Wainwright III

Never heard of Griggolo but enjoyed a listen to him. Thanks. My preference would be Jussi Bjoerling singing it

Elgar's Nimrod.

The First Time Ever I saw your face - Roberta Flack.

Three Little Birds - Bob Marley.

I just got "Remembrance Jewellery" at the bottom of the page, then Fair Price Funerals.

Have some people no respect?

I’d love to have the bottle to have Michael Caine’s version of Its Over from Little Voice...
Give it until a minute in when he starts the song.

Love that film, Jane Horrocks is brilliant.

There ain't half been some lucky bastards ... Ian Dury and the Blockheads springs to mind :-)

Plaistow Patricia would raise a few eyebrows after the opening line.
