Play any songs you want mate, no-ones going. ps. There are no safe songs to play at a funeral. My grandad had "bread of heaven" as the hymn on the way in and all I could think about was that I and a few others had sung it at a mates window a couple of weeks earlier but with the words "Hammond takes it, Hammond takes it, Hammond takes it up the arse, Hammond takes it up the arse". Hammond being the surname of the girl he'd taken home who by numerous accounts does indeed park lorries in the service bay. At least if the song is 'inapproriate' people can react how they want, openly trying to suppress laughter at my grandads funeral full in the knowledge there is no possible way I could explain to my family what was funny was less good.
Actually have already told the family that when I go I’m wanting played 1. Disco inferno - The Trammps 2. Fire - Arthur Brown 3. Burning love - Elvis 4. Fire Brigade - Move Hate to think people would be miserable at my funeral. I aim to put the “fun” in funeral.
It's important to get your funeral songs right, don't forget it's your choice, no one else's. I went with Sit Down and Just Like Fred Astaire by James, along with Because the Night by Patti Smith Group.
" Failed Christian " by Nick Lowe. Apart from being a brilliant tune the irony would make my eldest son laugh out loud.
Personally couldn't give a feck. It's like when people say to me "do you know that the back of your head hair needs brushing?" and I'm like "couldn't care less, I can't see it".
