I want a funeral but not a grave. I've given options to my executors but I would love a bit of Handel - I think Waft Her, Angels, To The Skies from Jeptha would do nicely.

Warren Zeiders - Ride the lightning

I’m a big fan of the soaps so I would like the Eastenders theme tune!

HowardTJMoon · 23/06/2023 18:26

It'd have to be something by the Cocteau Twins. Pur, maybe?

Bananalanacake · 23/06/2023 18:33

Definitely the Lachrimosa from Mozart's Requiem.

Time to say goodbye - Andrea Bocelli is my mums funeral song of choice.

For me, I don't care. I want my loved ones to do exactly what will bring them comfort.

Thank you for the music ABBA.

I'm not having a funeral at all.

Direct cremation, no attenders, no flowers, no music, nothing.

Amazing Grace, on bagpipes - a beautiful hymn, and a reference to Star Trek (Scotty plays it at Spock’s funeral).

Amazing Grace was played at my grandad's funeral over 40 years ago. To be honest, I dont even remember what version it was, but any version still moves me and brings tears to my eyes, but in a nice way iykwim.

If I were to have a funeral ( I'm currently leaning strongly towards a direct cremation but with money left for family to have a meal out together in my memory after scattering my ashes, which can be done when they feel ready), it would be 'Seasons in the Sun'.
