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 ?

apologies if this has been done before but i haven't been on here that long !

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.

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.
