Funeral songs

[happyjo]

Hi

I know this is a tad depressing... but.. what 3 songs ( not hymns) would you choose for your funeral.... they can be funny, sad, uplifting....

I know my friends father chose, as a joke...for his wifes funeral

Ding dong the witch is dead, from the Wizard of Oz...

Mine are

'This womans work' --Kate bush
'Bridge over troubled water' Simon and Garfunkle
'Scar tissue' Red hot Chilli peppers

Can only think of two.
I would like Elton Johns Funeral for a Friend and Onward Christian Soldiers. I love the first and the second would be for me to look down and laugh at my family singing a hymn and also failing to hit the high note!

funeral for a friend (elton john)

the final countdown (europe)

and knights of cydonia (muse) as the lyrics in it go "no ones gonna take me alive"

[B00]

Can only think of one at the moment. I'd have to be Arms of an Angel by Angelis.

[legend457duo]

i think three are to many

most funerals are very short

three songs would take up half the alloted time

[happyjo]

Well go on then legend.. choose 1.

Who knows where the time goes - Eva Cassidy
Satisfied Mind - Jeff Buckley
I Can See Clearly Now - Johnny Nash

Those are the real ones, but for a less serious three:

Come Up and See Me (Make Me Smile) - Steve Harley
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Breaking Into Heaven - Stone Roses

friend of mine had Freddy Mercury -Who wants to live forever.(I think thats the title)
she died of cancer and planned everything herself.When I hear it now it makes me cry and laugh at the same time (not a pretty sight)

hi happyjo
we recentley went to a friends funeral and he wanted all ways look on the bright side of life playing. Everyone started smiling and it was such a good song to end things on

[Shadow Man]

Come Up and See Me (C0ckney Rebel) wll be good as if the deceased is inviting folk to Heaven upon their own demise.

However, I would chose:

Fantastic Voyage------David Bowie
Absolute Beginners-------David Bowie
Still Life------Suede
Add Some Music-----------The Beach Boys
