Distortio Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Either that or get myself stuffed and kept in a glass cabinet (probably seated, with a cane in one hand, petting a stuffed dog with the other, while wearing a pith helmet and safari suit) so I can be passed down the family tree as a kind of Victorian curio. funny that, i had you down as more of a cat person. hmpf, you think you know somebody...

Colin Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Not given it to much thought but, how about Dylan - Knockin on heavens door? Been at a couple of funerals where traditional music did not feature. Maybe it's a sign of the times that the church/religion does not seem to feature to much in peoples lives. A bit off the topic but a 'musical' incident of the funeral variety that some may enjoy went as follows. We (Scalloway Hall) were asked to host a funeral service and, as WAS the norm, left most of the arrangements to the ushers. Anyway, the Hall was filled with mourners, the organist was playing away in the the background and everthing seemed in order right up until the minister took the congregation into the first hymn. Yep, that's when the 8 light cabinets and 5 large spots attached to our sound to light units kicked in... Guess who (quight correctly) got the blame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A "beautiful day" i'll never forget. You really didna ken whether to smeeg or greet. Especially as i can't stand the levellers. For my own purposes, my first mischievious thought is to "Bring me sunshine" by Morecambe and Wise. Or perhaps the theme tune to "Mastermind" would fit the bill in many ways "Melt" by Leftfield would be nice though, through an almighty sound system. Bound to draw a few tears. That's it then, 'Melt' followed by 'Mastermind', with 'Bring Me Sunshine' after the kirkyard bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_Dammers Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 I'd never really considered using the song that was number one when I was born played at my funeral before, but there might be some sort of twisted pleasure in having a kirk full of people listening to 'Bye Bye Baby' by the Bay City Rollers... I'd want 'Atmosphere' by Joy Division on at some point though. With the kind of luck I've been having recently, they'd probably play 'Atmosphere' by Russ Abbott instead.

With the kind of luck I've been having recently, they'd probably play 'Atmosphere' by Russ Abbott instead. At my father's funeral I was determined I would try to sing 'well' (not sure that's actually possible in my case). I was about to launch into a rousing chorus of 'Rock of Ages' when suddenly I discovered that the minister had chosen a different version from the one we had wanted. Cue blushes rather than tears.
