Earth Prelude - Ludovico Einaudi

SlightlygrumpyBettyswaitress · 23/06/2023 15:39

What's so funny bout peace,love and understanding Elvis Costello. Never once in my 50 plus years on this planet has it not applied.
In my life. The Beatles
Everyone Here says Hi, Mr Bowie.

I think I might have a link to my Spotify playlist in the Order of Service!

Take That and Lulu, Relight my fire. Or Disco Inferno for the chorus. DC are on board Wine

Scalessayeek · 23/06/2023 15:44

It would have to be this for me, the most beautiful song. To summarise, shitty things will still happen in life, but it will be easier with you in in.

That’s genius. What a lovely idea.

afrikat · 23/06/2023 15:52

For many years it was Don't Cry by Guns n Roses. Now it might still be that or something by Damien Rice. Maybe Cheers Darlin

DH had Comfortably Numb. I looked up just in time to see the Funeral Director swaying along with it, made my day.

BodenGroupie · 23/06/2023 15:55

I'm thinking I've Had the Time of My Life, but only if I can persuade my friend and her husband to do the lift

mangoamango · 23/06/2023 15:56

Who knows where the time goes by Fairport convention, or
The Masterplan by Oasis

Eyesopenwideawake · 23/06/2023 15:56

Always by George Michael and Mary J Blige - I want everyone dancing and singing along.

Preceded by Masterplan by Oasis for the crying part. 😥

C1N1C · 23/06/2023 15:57

I'm going to die alone, and chances are there will be no one at my funeral. If nothing unexpected happens, with my wife's health issues, she'll die before me, I only have my mum left and don't really have friends.

Taps would be cool, short and sweet, but I'm not sure whether it would be approved for non-military in the UK.

Eyesopenwideawake · 23/06/2023 15:57

@mangoamango - are you me??

mangoamango · 23/06/2023 16:01

@Eyesopenwideawake
for your sake, I sincerely hope not 😂

SleepingisanArt · 23/06/2023 16:03

Queen - Another One Bites The Dust

Mybookofdreams · 23/06/2023 16:04

For a laugh -

Wake me up by avici
Or
If you don't know me by now by simply red.

Mybookofdreams · 23/06/2023 16:05

Or To the end by blur..

Theme tune to The Muppet Show.

One of my two options was scrolling to see if it had already been mentioned 😀

HighEndGrifters · 23/06/2023 16:08

Leaving the church it will be this. Holy City commonly known as the other Jerusalem.

In the crem I am coming in to The Humming Chorus from Madam Butterfly

As they close the curtains. The Chorus of The Hebrew Slaves.

Harry Secombe - The Holy City (1959)

Released as a single in November 1959. Written by Stephen Adams (actually Michael Maybrick) and Frederic Weatherly in 1892. B-side is "Jerusalem".

HighEndGrifters · 23/06/2023 16:09

I have no idea why Harry Secombe appears twice, but I am only having it once. 😂

EmmaPaella · 23/06/2023 16:12

The Neighbours theme tune, circa 1988.

TheGirlWhoLived · 23/06/2023 16:12

TheGirlWhoLived · 23/06/2023 16:12

Or perhaps sound of silence, the staind version

frozendaisy · 23/06/2023 16:12
