"stand by me"

Somewhere over the rainbow - Israel Kamakawiwoʻole - sheerly because i saw it on ER and thought it was a very funeral song

Sea of glass - Tom Middleton - Same reason

Hometown glory - Adele - again see like a good funeral song.

My ex always used to make me promise if he died I would play the Pixies this monkey's gone to heaven. I used to get very giggly at the look on my dad's face if it ever was necessary as he would expect a nice hymn !

[Applespider]

My Mum always wanted Bridge over Troubled Water at her funeral but it had to be Simon and Garfunkel. She got it

She loved 'Bring him home' from Les Mis.( as the coffin was being lowered)

The final song was 'Time to say good bye'.

What annoyed me, I spent so much time sorting out the songs and the order, yet the undertakers tried to rush us away after a few bars of the final song. I grabbed hubby and closed my eyes and made out I was praying to hear a few more bars. Would not have minded if there was someone waiting to come in but there was nobody.

Father in law being Polish had a Polish Ballard about white roses. ( we had white roses display with artifical red poppies as they are the national flower of Poland). Mother in Law went out to Verdi

I fancy Tom Jones - Green Grass of home', possibly a bit of 'Phantom of the Opera' sung by Michael Ball or Russell Watson.

[LouiseC]

Comfortably numb- Pink Floyd

[Jah Lush]

Jumping Jack Flash - The Rolling Stones

Let Me Die In My Footsteps - Bob Dylan

Last Orders Please - The Faces

You choose 3-one to file into the room to, one as part of the ceremony, and the final as the coffin is taken

[civilservant]

Days - the Kinks

[PeckhamRose]

obviously.

As it goes, my Cousin went with this. He was only 53 and it was a humanist funeral so we all laughed at the irony.

, just for a laugh too.

And for number three Comfortably Numb as someone mentioned above.

ANYthing but bloody Bette Middler Wings Beaneath My wings or anyone's version of My Way!
