Re: Funerals

My mates dad was a big Al Jolson fan. We left the church to "I`m Sitting On Top Of The World" which was uplifting and inspiring. Not a dry eye in the house.

I think that's the joy of it, if it's the right music it can really make an impact.

Sorry if it's caused offense!

I know there is the PC brigade....surely not on Accyweb.
I can't see anything wrong with the thread at all. :)

Me neither ... death is inevitable, and I don't see anything wrong with discussing it ... it is not the sort of thing that will go away if we ignore it.

Spike Milligan tells of a story where the diseased was nailed to the coffin and stood upright to watch the proceedings...Some wake that?
