I have recently heard a piece of music that has bought tears to my eyes. It was at a funeral for my friends husband so was an emotional day, but this piece of music has really struck a cord. I hope you get a chance to listen to Donna Taggart a song called Jealous of the angels. I love all music but this one strikes at the heart. sorry cant post the link I'm not that clever.

That is lovely.

And, in a similar vein, this by Mindy Smith was written when her mother was dying. A very similar voice.

Lovely songs but I'm having a Rolling Stones song at my funeral. Not sure which one yet but something loud.

As much as I like the Stones I think I’ll go for ‘Summertime .... and the living is easy...’ most beautiful!

That's lovely Oopsminty.

I've chosen Shores of Avalon by the Skeekers. DH wants Highland Cathedral for his send off.

Honky Tonk for me! Also “Losing my religion” by REM. I danced to this song, with my son when REM played at Glastonbury- a happy memory.

DH wanted Who wants to live forever.

However when he was very poorly I found it extremely upsetting and told him I couldn’t do that. He understood and said ok.

Beautiful but sad, perhaps better something positive like the classic ‘My Way’ or cheerful like ‘Wish Me Luck’?

Positively 4th Street by Bob Dylan... (in my mind only, we don't have music at funerals in my tradition.)

Beautiful song!

I've chosen "I'm Your Angel" by Celine Dion, for mine!
