Oooh yes... Astro is also a very good one.. I love that song - what a way to remember someone's life

ohhh thank you Mrs HP. A good reminder there... and isn't it funny that when you started to tell me about this topic I thought "I have to remembr to tell her I want Distant Sun"... ahhh me and my cottage cheese brain

So I guess I can stop telling you now?

Oh and I think an acoustic version would be the best. Thank you!

Have you decided girls where I will be disposed of (which country/countries/location) and how?
Hum whatever you like while you're doing it!!

Oh and GREAT avatar by the way Mrs HP- AWESOME!!!!! Good on you and the magic Doodler

Well, id go for an upbeat song. Something that has a bit of humour. How about "Locked Out", or "Clumsy". Of course if you played something like "Anytime", there probably wouldn't be a dry eye in the house, probably from all the laughter, hopefully.

It's amazing reading those lists of Top 10 Funeral songs. Why people don't want to play the chicken dance at their funeral is beyond me.

i won't have a funeral (i prefer cremation) but as my ashes get poured over N.Z. (hey, it's my plan) "as sure as i am" would be nice in the background...

Don't stand around,
Like friends at a funeral,
Eyes to the ground,
It could have been you.

Never Be The Same.

I'd want 'She Goes On', hopefully it would give comfort to the people I love. Followed by a rousing rendition of the chicken dance!

Probably DDIO, Four Seasons or Never Be The Same.

I love All The Colours but it does remind me of my Dad and I wouldn't want everyone to be weeping as funerals are just horrid anyway.

My cousin had Robbie Williams' Angels which was great but now every time I hear it, I remember.

God, this is so cheery!

She goes on
All the colors
Gentle Hum
Part of Me Part of You

***What an interesting thought. I think I am going to start planning my funeral.

Why not? I could go at anytime .

Forgot to add, I too, want to be cremated. I do not want people viewing my empty shell.

I would like to "hear" Drive home from the rain soundtrack. The intro is so beautiful and sad.
And all my friends will cry when they hear that it will be a long way to drive home without me.
Other instrumental songs from the rain soundtrack are also very appropriate.

That's all too true. Liking the quote!

Half-Full, thanks for the reply and sorry its taken me so long to pick up on it. I've heard a snippet of the Diana version and it sounds lovely - I adore it when Neil goes all acoustic. In that vein, all those of you who mention 'Try Whistling This' - have you heard the version recorded at Abbey Road in 1998? A wonderful piano and vocal. Definitely up there in the 'tie breaker' stakes if we can only choose one!

Into the Sunset
Better Be Home Soon
In Your Sway
Charlie
Stuff and Nonsense
Faster than light
Addicted

yeah, i like that little selection!

The Climber is my recent choice (particularly the version off 7 Worlds....) but it has always been She Goes On. Tough choice!

Sass

I want I See Red mainly because my hair is red and it reminds people of me but it also makes people smile

Try whistling this 'sinner' last day of june'sunset swim'turn and run'edible flowers'loose tongue'and stuff and nonsense.Hope the vicar's up for it

I reckon I'd go with 'Distant Sun' and 'Sister Madly' (the live version that came on Recurring Dream's live album)- because even if you're not a Crowdie's fan, how could you not have a cackle over Hessie's unfortunate out of tune note?

I also love 'Friday I'm in Love' by the Cure- not a Finn related song, but one which will be blaring from the cd player at my big event.

Haven't decided yet, but I'm thinking 'Into The Sunset'. I'm almost convinced I'm getting the following part of the lyric on my headstone...

And here now I come to rest
Under Lion Rock
Over Marine Parade
Maybe this time
Here I'll stay
