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!!

I don't know if it's been suggested yet but my mum wants "going on up to the spirit in the sky" at her funeral.

Always look on the bright side of life

DH went out to Electric Dreams

Ot “The Show Must Go On” by Queen!

I booked Don’t Stop Me Now years ago!

I think for a serious song I'd go for:

Highwayman by The Highway Men

For a song to lighten the mod and remind people of me, it'd be:

Die With Your Boots On - Iron Maiden

My friend was 18 when she passed and obviously majority of people were around the same age and I always remember 18 years later the song, which was don’t worry be happy. It brought a smile to my face then and still does now

HNRTT but
Leaving on a jetplane
Go now (Bessie Banks rather than the Moody Blues)

"End of the line" by the Travelling Wilburys
"Heading for the light" again by the Travelling Wilburys.

Jimmy mack..my world's on fire
Classic Northern soul oldie.

For my DM we had Dancing Queen as we left the crematorium. She was, and it felt really fitting and made us all smile.

My DD always said she wanted Spirit In the Sky. She got it. 💔

This will be outing to those who know me, but I've asked for Don't Fear the Reaper at mine. I threaten my mum with Ding Dong the Witch is Dead.
There's also:
Highway to Hell
Down Down Deeper and Down
Another One Bites the Dust
Staying Alive
Dumb Ways to Die

We’ve just had Pretty Woman at my mum’s graveside

It was her favourite film, but we weren’t sure whether the hooker connection was appropriate in church! (Thankfully it wasn’t a problem!)

My dad was lovely, your dad was your dad. They could both just like the song. The song says I lived my life how I wanted to and I'm content to go now. Your interpretation is flawed. The Sex Pistols also did a version for the more punk infused.

Have you read the lyrics in full? It is all about being a big important man!

I take it your Dad didn’t go with the Sid Vicious lyrics?

Can't you see that is your interpretation based on your personal issues with your dad. The lyrics are here:

Which ones are causing you the most bother? It's a pretty classic song

Ain't no stopping us now - McFadden and Whitehead. I want everyone smiling and dancing out of the crem

I've been to a funeral that had this. It was brilliant, everyone sang along. It was perfect for the deceased who always loved a good laugh.
They also had Spirit in the Sky. So much better than sad songs or hymns.

The song makes me cry as it is, it would send me over the edge at a funeral!

Bon Jovi - Sleep When I'm Dead

Went to a funeral where the last song (chosen by the person themselves) was ‘Fever’ by Peggy Lee. A great song. Not sure if it was intended by him, but as the coffin slid out of sight Peggy was singing ‘What a lovely way to burn’. 🙄

Not sure about end music but I fancy being carried in to Barwick Green (better known as the theme for The Archers). Or maybe the BBC Horse of the Year Show music (Mozart's a musical joke).

Both sure to put a spring in the step of the pallbearers!

I'd like the theme to The Detectorists to come in, and Bring Me Sunshine to go out.

No not just my interpretation. The BBC programme Arena called it a
‘Hymn to self delusion’ which Sid Vicious had picked up on.

My dad has Grace fields wish me luck as you wave me goodbye the words are so lovely
