    Ashes are Burning by Renaissance - the live version all 23 minutes of it - my last practical joke, or more seriously Bridge Across Forever by Transatlantic.

    Mine are sorted already, not that I'm planning on moving on in the near future, but you never know so there's nothing like forward planning...

    Way in: Fiesta by the Pogues, in my view perfect for a funeral - sombre introduction, then party!

    During the (non-religious) service: Maid in Heaven by Be Bop Deluxe, the heaven reference is purely coincidental, but this is 2 minutes 21 seconds of pure perfection.

    Way out: Northern Dreamer 1957 by Bill Nelson, a personal favourite (surely I'm allowed one final indulgence?)

    Are there any rules around that? In non-religious weddings all references to religion in songs (no matter how tenuous) are banned.
