any ideas for a funeral song?

Faith Hill - There you'll be

the words made me cry the other day when I really sat and listened to them.

In my dreams I'll always see you soar Above the sky
In my heart There will always be a place For you
for all my life I'll keep a part Of you with me
And everywhere I am There you'll be

So sorry for your loss

My friend Lucie set up a resource website to support the bereaved. There's a list of suitable music on there - as well as lots of other free resources.

Her inspirational movie is very touching.....it's also on youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/thelightbeyond

This thread started me thinking...i don't have any plans for my funeral (not intending on going anywhere for many years though!). Today i've made a list of music i would want, so my relatives will know what my wishes are. There's some lovely suggestions on here & i've included some of them. Now i'm off to do something happier

My sister had a song by A-ha and also Forever Autumn.very sad.


My sister had thought about Angels by Robbie Williams but I am glad she didn't as it makes me said hearing it anyway but if it had been her funeral song it would have been worse.


Hope you make the 'right' decision.

I like you choice of song susiesue and agree about wanting a song but not yet.

For myself I will insist on "alway look on the bright side of life, followed by eric the half a bee song. Thats my wish.

And I would love to sneak into the church and change the CD when my ex has her funeral, and would play this instead

at my dad's funeral, we had All Things Bright And Beautiful as one of the hymns, which was cheerful but still respectful.

everyone knows that at my funeral i want The Carpenters played - Top Of The World (Looking Down On Creation).

btw, i also want a cardboard coffin (money saving til the end) and my ashes are to be mixed into a huge firework rocket and set off on a dark starry night.

each to their own...

Satie Gymnopedie No 1 - Piano gems (this is what I want at mine) with a backdrop of old cine film. Makes me go goosebumpy every time I hear it.
