Sign of the times, Harry Styles.

I can’t wait to meetchu by Macy Gray.

Who knows where the Time goes by Fairport Convention. I can cry just thinking about Sandy Denny's voice singing that.

And then a piper to play Lord Lovat's lament as people leave.

I don't intend to have a funeral if DH goes first and my DC know this and fully agree, however if I go first and DH feels he absolutely must then See You on the Other Side, Ozzy Osbourne.

An eclectic trio of Jerusalem, I vow to thee my country and flying without wings (sung by my two friends).

I (half jokingly) reminded my friend before surgery recently and she said "Yes, we're all set for Wind beneath my wings". I'd have to haunt her for the rest of eternity.

Anything by The Smiths.
If I was being obtuse because the children didn't look after me. "Heaven knows I'm miserable now".
If I died a good death "there is a light and it never goes out"

Brilliant!

I'm not going to have a funeral but dh's grandad chose 'Wish Me Luck As You Wave Me Goodbye' for his, it made everyone smile because he would have laughed to himself planning it

Fire - Crazy world of Arthur Brown
Goodbyeee - Peter Cook and Dudley Moore

HeadNorth · 23/06/2023 13:51

White Horses - Jacky Kay - the theme song from a lovely TV programme about the Lipizzana stud when I was a little girl. Galloping on my white horse was a childhood dream I have been lucky enough to make true. Sorry DH & kids, its my beautiful ponies that will take my soul away Grin

Also Bright Side of the Road by Van Morrison as everyone leaves - a good cheery send off.

For my sister, we had Barry White - My Everything.
They were tears, and some bopping.
Not sure my Mum was particularly delighted. She planned a mainstream conformist event. My sister wasn't going out like that. Wink
