I was going to suggest this aswell, it says it all to me.

So sorry about your loss
i think this a very sad song, i got married 2003 and we had this song playing while husband and i signed the register
but we chose the eva cassidy version http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=eUwTdqPkluY there wasnt a dry eye in the house i lost my brother not long before we got married so i just thought i would be so nice playing this on my wedding day as some how it made me feel that he was with me dont know how but it did

hope you make the right choice

My Father In Law had Eric Idle - Always look on the bright side of life played at the Crem, it was his choice and as post above also says it summed him up to a tee!...produced a few sniggers when it started playing

I would like 'I Hope You Dance' (Leann Womacks version, not Ronan Keating) as I love the words and seems like to sort of message I would like to leave for everyone.

My mum's uncle had 'We'll Meet Again' :rotfl:

And at my friend's fathers funeral they had 'Time to Say Goodbye' (KAtherine Jenkin) and 'Dance With My Father Again' (Luther Vandross).

Hope all your arrangements are taking shape x

Aretha's Franklin's "Say a little prayer" was played at a friend's funeral. He was a guy in his 30s.

It's cheerful and some of the lyrics are fitting eg

Forever and ever
You'll stay in my heart and I will love you
Forever and ever
We never will part
Oh how I'll love you
Together, together
That's how it will be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me
