Best last song for a funeral

[Ginburee]

After a very serious brush with death (on a ventilator and family told to say goodbye) I thought it best to leave my husband instructions for my funeral. It will be a cremation.
I have a very dry sense of humour and can make an innuendo out of pretty much anything so don't hold back as I want something that will make people smile.
For the last song so far I have Things can only get better and Stevie Nicks Rooms on fire.
Fire away!!

My FIL wanted this on his gravestone!

My Dad wants

My dad said he wants Spice Up Your Life 🙈

🤣

Never Forget - Take That.

The lyrics are quite apt & the tune rather uplifting.

Nick Cave - Death is not the End

But i don't want a funeral, give my body to medical science, dump me somewhere, don't fucking waste money on me when I am gone. My family knows if they want something, get me a bench in my favourite spot

My dad had wish me look as you wave me good bye from Grace fields I loved that he also had white cliffs of Dover

The theme tune to Dinnerladies.
I don't know why 🤔

I hate it when people have " jolly " songs at a funeral. It feels awkward and a bit upsetting to me.
I went to one where they played ' another one bitescthe dust' at the end and it just felt really disrespectful to me.

My wonderful 78 year old aunt had Firestarter played at her cremation. She wanted us to smile after all the crying.

I'm having elbow beautiful day as my final song, its really lovely

Spirit in the sky

Someone I know had I will follow him from sister act as her husband had died a few years earlier 🤣

Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb
If I want people to cry, I'll be having This Woman's Work, by Kate Bush!

If I Ever Leave This World Alive by Flogging Molly

Dotn know if anyone else has suggested (not read full thread as yet), but please go for the 'Julia's theme', go out as a true soap character!

I’ll live while I’m alive and sleep when I’m dead Bon Jovi

Mine will be End of the Line by the Travelling Wilburys

There is an exceptionally annoying muppets song that my partner and I sing to each other with changed words on a daily basis, and have been doing so for three years solid.

That’ll raise some eyebrows.

I did have a 29yo friend have the muppet’s theme tune as the closer after some hardcore niche indie band songs and stunningly thoughtful tributes. Everyone left the church cry smiling. It WAS the best possible end - he was deeply into his puppets. He created a terrifying puppet character of his own :)

I would say don’t go with what seems graceful or appropriate. Go with what you fancy or love.

I might write some Mary Poppins or Willy Wonka songs into my funeral just bc I love them and they never fail to make
me happy.

Yeah, I’m 49. Shrug!

I'd like "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay"

Feeling hot hot hot....🔥

I’m having ‘Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day 😄
