Mothers ‘rights’ at her sons funeral

Firstly, I’m not looking to fight or to make anyone’s life more difficult than it is already for the family at the moment. I’m just looking for a consensus on whether I’m being reasonable in my request.

My son died very suddenly last week leaving two young sons and his long term partner (and mother of his children) Obviously we are all in tremendous shock and my focus is in making sure my grandchildren and his partner have all the help I can give them.
I would really like a certain song played at his funeral (nothing strange or contentious just something that means a lot to me and the words convey how I feel) Would it be unreasonable for me to make my wishes known or is it too insensitive? I couldn’t care less about anything else to do with the funeral but seem fixated on wanting this one song….

Mynxie so good to hear that the funeral service for your son went well for all of you.

I hope you had some good days with your son's partner and your grandchildren at the seaside and over the school holidays.
Caring and supporting in such a considerate way as you describe is never interfering xx
