Just back from my step-mother-in-law's (is that even a thing?) funeral. She was very witty - and the choice of the music for her committal was from this album - "Can't you hear me knocking" :lol:

Love it! It also made me think what would I like to have played at my funeral (the sad thing is I have not done anything about my funeral plans - I really ought to do something about it!)

Two of my best friends who "went before" had Lynyrd Skynyrd's 'Freebird' played, and a colleague at work had R.E.M's 'Everybody Hurts' played at his.

But I wouldn't want anyone to be sad, so maybe something by Ian Dury to make them smile.

Leonard Cohen – 'Songs From The Road'

The song she had to come in to was Leonard Cohen - Famous Blue Raincoat which was a bit spooky given your next post! The other song played was Hurt by Johnny Cash.

I’m sure we did a “songs for your funeral” thread many years ago. :scratch:

The "packer " record that came with my latest LP purchase

Very possibly! Great album, spinning it now, I had forgotten about it! (I am sure I am not the only one who suddenly has an epiphany on an album they once played to death, but got lost in the mists of time? The perils of having access to so much great music!)
