I wouldn't have music on its own...., i would have a computer DVD made of me stating all the things i really think about people, that way i get the last word on EVERYTHING.!!!
Then i would play WHO'S SORRY NOW.!!! great song
Cremated - I haven't decided on the songs yet. No flowers or donations to charity. If there is a collection, it's to be used for a mega wicked party for friends and family, all dancers welcome!
Celebration .........Kool and the gang
"No Stairway" ....
If I have a church service, I'd like the hymn Lord of the Dance (no, not the Michael Flatley thing, words by Sydney Carter)
"I danced in the morning when the world was begun,
And I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun...
Chorus:Dance, then, wherever you may be;
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he,
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be,
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he.
It's not meant to be funny, but if I died tomorrow, I think it would be appropriate. I'm not particularly religious now, but I had a Christian upbringing, and I loved singing it in assembly. Anyway, come the afterlife, it never hurts to have shown Someone your good intentions .
For my cremation, it's going to be Weather With You by Crowded House.
If I want the congregation to smile (and I hope to goodness there will be a congregation), I'm tempted to have the Muppet Show Theme Tune:
It's time to play the music,
It's time to light the lights,
It's time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight,
It's time to put on makeup,
It's time to dress up right,
It's time to raise the curtian on the Muppet Show tonight.
...and then the coffin moves along the conveyor. Too wicked?
Funerals should have tears, but should also be a celebration of the life gone.
