Which Northern Record do you want played at your funeral?

I've told all of my kids that I want Alexander Patton "A lil loving sometimes" played at my funeral as my main song. There are a couple of other things on the list too.. records to be playing as people come in etc, but as I want to be cremated, It's the Alexander Patton I want to be played LOUD just before/as I dissapear behind the curtain/door to the "hot room"

Just wondering if anyone else had made this decision or what songs you'd pick.

Cheers,

Paul

As well as deejaying i spend a lot of time at the cemetery/crematorium working for a funeral company.I fancy having 'Johnny Maestro' with 'I'm Stepping Out of the Picture' going in and maybe 'Gone,Gone,Gone-Johnny Mathis coming out lol

I'm On My Way !

I would like to be cremated and have the following played:- Just love the lyrics

1. The Masqueraders - How

2. Sergio Mendez - Love Music

3. The Contemplations - Alone with No Love

4. Donny Hathaway - The Ghetto

5. The Undisputed Truth - Smiling Faces

Will add to this

I have seen and heard several peoples choices of music that was used or they want to use at funerals

some quite amusing

myself i think i'll just stick with the "Three before eight" as there are so many that i would like, it would turn into an all nighter

Jimmy Radcliffe "for my wife"

Tobi Legend because "it has"

And

Dean Parrish "Because i am "

So has anyone written their last requests yet ?

even better have you planned a soul gig for your wake/post funeral gathering ?

Pertinent, unfortunately for me this week.

I'll be playing a couple of Helen's favourites from the nineties on Thursday:

the deep and emotional

"Room Full Of Tears" by Johnny Gilliam (coincidentally on Cancer, which took her)

then the uplifting anthem

"I'll never stop loving you" by Carla Thomas

Both were special to Helen and myself, with perfect, emotive lyrics.

We never broached the subject. We never talked about the possibility of her dying.

It was much too painful and I was hopeful and positive until the very end.

I can't imagine the fear she experienced. I wasn't about to make it worse.

I think and pray she would have chosen the same herself.

My wife suggested "Ho Happy Day" for mine. What could she mean?

well am guna be cremated so my choice would have to be bar-b- q

This might sound funny but my Mum sang at her's. She had a good voice and liked to go on the karaoke and she made a cd with a guy who had some recording equipment. She recorded a few songs but my sister n me picked her singing Patsie Cline song "Crazy" It was supposed to be re track that we all walked out to but everyone stayed to the end of the song and clapped "everyone in tears". God bless you Mam x

By the way, I wont be making my own, carnt sing for toffee lol

Not made my mind up yet, too many that mean so much, so many beautiful recordings.

My choices are to be,

David Ruffin - My Whole World Ended

Diana Ross - Remember Me

And..........

Charles Mann - It's All Over

Robbie Lawson - Burning sensation or Jimmy Mack - My World is on Fire could be choices for a cremation too.

Goin Up In Smoke by Eddie Kendricks.
