Funny you should mention this subject Gayle. Just recently our Relief Society (women's group at church) have been discussing the same thing and drawn up some draft funeral plans that people can fill in and then leave with their loved ones so they know exactly what the deceased would like. Maybe it's because we've had so many deaths recently amongst our congregation. The plans have got things on like who you would like to give a talk and what songs/hymns you would like. Of course that's always presuming the proposed speaker doesn't predecease you. I must admit I haven't filled mine in yet but my immediate family know that I would like to be cremated and where I would like my ashes to be scattered.

As well as the sounds I probably plan the whole thing in advance the same way as a wedding is. After the cooking and lobbing under a tree they can do as they please.

Just what my Mum has done down to how many family cars are needed!!!

I think i would like a couple of my favourite songs played nothing soppy though!
Probably something by Iron Maiden,Lola by the Kinks and Nights in White Satin by The Moody Blues!
A mixed bag to represent who i am!

The family can put me in a binbag if they want when I go, don’t care.

As for the music, is it not a bit egotistical to choose your own. Surely it is up to those who remain to choose music which they feel is representative of your life and what you meant to them.

Well Ian left a disc clearly marked to be played at the end of his service and it was played, think when you have got quite a few putting input you could all have different ideas of what is right. See nothing wrong in granting a loved one their last wishes!!!

I will have chosen mine to cover my life.

I think i would rather choose what i thought best represented my life then let people argue over whether this song or that song sums me up best.
And by some small chance i can here whats going on i want to listen to some good tunes!!
