Jump to: Newest in thread
Following on from something that was posted on another thread, What piece of music would you like to be played at your funeral.
Mine is Born Loose by Rod Stewart and has been for many years.
I think it kinda sums up the way i have lived my life so far anyway lol

Funny you should post this, I went to a funeral the other week and was asked the same question.
With my warpped sick mind I cam up with the follwoing quick as a flash,
If buried, going underground by the Jam
If Cremated (spelt wrong) Another One Bites The Dust by Queeen.
Until then I hadn't really thought about it and still havent, but I would liek a few songs I like at the moment, Kite by U2, November Rain by Guns N Roses.
To be honest I would pick soijething different and happy, would want to be remembered as a happy time and not a sad time. One thing is certain, black is not an option on the day, want them to wear what they want and remember the happy times no the sad times x |

We went to the funeral of a very close family friend killed in Helmand, was by far the saddest funeral we have ever been to.
His wife chose 'Gone Too Soon' by Michael Jackson and it had me in floods of tears. |

some people think they understand what people feel losing a man or woman coming home from war but untill it happens they will never know, im out of the army now but would like to go back but the war we are fighting at the min is a losing battle sadly and i disagree with the way are troops are being treated. |

front line troops that bear the strain. Always have and it seems unfair as the problems out there look as though they will go on for many years.  |

No problem - it's a very emotive subject - I don't think we'll ever be totally happy with the treatment of our brave servicemen and women - Z |

I'll come and play it for whoever that was live if he/she wants? lol
Personally theres this piece of music my brother wrote on the piano, guess you'd call it classical, he wrote it while I was really young, and I always loved it, it's very moving. I always said to him he'll have to teach me it so I can play it at his funeral, lol. He said no chance, he'll be playing it at mine! So I guess it would be that! |

I have planned my funeral and chosen my music.
I will be carried in to the church to I'm still standing (Elton John)
Other songs to be played are
Always look on the bright side of life
Girls just wana have fun
And be carried out to I've had the time of my life.
Those who really know me will know why all these have been chosen.
N xx |

"pipes and drums HIGHLAND CATHEDRAL"
I remember the Queen Mother's funeral when the royal men marched behind the gun carriage carrying her coffin to the sound of bagpipes playing "Mist Covered Mountains of Home", and "Oft In The Stilly Night". Very powerful, very emotional, and those pipes were truly haunting. |
