Funeral songs

[happyjo]

Hi

I know this is a tad depressing... but.. what 3 songs ( not hymns) would you choose for your funeral.... they can be funny, sad, uplifting....

I know my friends father chose, as a joke...for his wifes funeral

Ding dong the witch is dead, from the Wizard of Oz...

[sophie_1003]

time is on my side by rolling stones, just to creep out anyone whos seen fallen really!

[Kleiber]

Garth Brooks - "The Dance"
Johnny Cash & June Carter - "The Far Side Banks of Jordan"

I had those 2 played at my husband's funeral and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. If you haven't heard "The Dance", find it & listen to it...it'll tear your heart out! K
and Eva Cassidy - "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" - gorgeous!

Kleiber
I have that CD "The Dance" My Sister had that played at her Husband's funeral. It is beautiful and so true

[beryllium]

Just had meatloaf (a ballad) for MiL and Hayley Westenra, as she was a fan of both.

I'm having Should I Stay or Should I Go, because I never could make my mind up!!!

and most probably, if I have to have something serious???

Kleiber, I would love "Somewhere over the Rainbow" too.

Also, Sam Cooke's "Wonderful World". I think I have more, but I haven't ever written them down. I would like a musical funeral! No words, just people I love playing a song each that reminded them of me.

Hi, Leelapops, happyjo & cruella - I'm glad I'm not the only country music freak around here. "The Dance" is such a beautiful song - have you seen the video that goes with it? Another one that always gets me in tears is Reba McIntire's "If I had Only Known" - that one reminds me of my last week together with Mr. K. Have any of you heard it? It's so heartbreaking.

[Panic Button]

Don't care. I won't be there
