Most Crematoriums have a very wide range of choice of music and you can select what you want and it will play at the press of a button. At a recent family funeral, which I had to arrange, I was pretty amazed to find amongst the selection was 'Another one bites the dust!' I kid you not. Who would choose it? Someone with a sense of humour.
Walking in to crem music Don't worry about a thing Bob Marley And as the curtain falls i want Days of our lives by Queen
Funny ones aside. Timerider on entry to church/crem. Cyndi lauper’s True colours and my favourite song of hers Sally’s pigeons. Nowt appropriate about it just love the melody of it. Shove Thunder struck AC/DC In between. If enough time. For all we know. By Karen Carpenter.
Not going to have a funeral. I'm not religious so don't see the point. Dying is one of the most expensive things you can do. I genuinely can't afford to do it. But as it's inevitable, taking out the funeral is at least one cost I can cut back on.
How fantastically morbid! In fairness I'm only 43 and have often thought about this. When my Dad died (2001) he never mentioned what music he wanted and sitting down listening to his music collection was one of the worst things we had to do. He was a big Beatles fan and we finally settled on Let it Be. The only problem for me was that I loved that song too and can no longer listen to it. All the enjoyment of the song has gone for me now. I've tried to go for more obscure ones that my kids are unlikely to ever listen to casually. This is one for the start: Brian Eno, an ending: Still undecided on the departure one, might go for Ring of Fire and give people something to chuckle about as they leave.
This is a serious reply, not a pisstake. You can have a totally non-religious service at a crematorium. If you want it done cheaply you can buy Wicker coffins on Ebay for next to nothing (in comparison to others). As to the point, the point is to give family and friends the opportunity to say goodbye and move on. My Dad was ex-navy and purely by chance we got a phone call two days after he died by an old navy friend who had been trying to track him down. They hadn't seen each other for 20 years but that chap traveled from Plymouth to come to the funeral. It made me think at the time that my Dad must have been a bloody good mate for someone to do that - it really helped. Funerals (in my opinion) always have been, and always will be, for those left behind rather than the deceased.
