Playing choice of music at funerals

Robin9

Been to a funeral at the Crem this morning.

Star Wars, I love you because (Jim Reeves), Love Changes Everything (Michael Ball)

The first time I have come across it - the address was written (in advance) and the family added his last moments.

When great aunt died a couple of years ago, we chose suitable music for the crem. Dad was playing it to his brother before we set off when all the power went off, leaving the CD stuck in the player. We rang the crem and they said not to worry as they had access to a huge number of works, including Mozart's Ave Verum Corpus, the piece we chose. By the time we got back home, the power was restored and the CD rescued. The crem's version was lovely.

My aunt died a couple of months ago and we were given a form in which to fill in our choice of music. We were told that they would not accept any CD's or data sticks.

We picked a couple of classical music pieces, and a really obscure old song by a singer called Deanna Durbin. We were worried that they wouldn't be able to source it but they did and the sound quality was lovely.
