Does'nt ring true that.
Would you rather a party for "I'm going to snuff it next week" or
"She was a lovely lady".........let's all drink her health.
Who says they'll think I was lovely? And what's the point of drinking my health if I'm dead?

If you've paid for it it will go down that much better.
They will think of you as the lovely lady who paid for the ale.

I thought that it was the job of the deceased´s nearest and dearest to pick the music. It seems a bit presuming to choose your own, especially with lovey dovey stuff.
Imagine some stuffy old aunt that everyone is patiently waiting to snuff it for all her dosh and she chooses something inappropriate. Sighs and moans all round.
My family know that I would prefer cremation as I´m scared of the dark but the music, should there be any, will be their choice. ´Love ya, Mum´ would be good!!

OOh I love that song too Brian!
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.
Just what my Mum has done down to how many family cars are needed!!!
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 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!!
Do you remember when Blanche on Corrie had a wake for herself,,,,not a lot of love or songs there,,,,
Living in a box
Fire.
Baby I'ts cold outside
LOL!!
Bet that would get people smiling!
Best way to remember somebody!
don't think its egotistical B.B. my missus chose her music n that was summat she certainly was not. i think it was very apt n gave me a bit of solace at the time.
Agreed Cashy!!! Who but yourself can know what is appropriate for you???
