'End of life' songs - is yours on the list?

I would not choose any of those songs either, I would like Queen singing ‘Having a Good Time’ and Pavarotti singing ‘Nessun Dorma’ - None shall sleep.

My husband wanted My Way at his funeral I tried to talk him out of it but he was adamant so no arguing .
I persuaded him to be taken into church to I Was Born Under a Wandering Star as he had a very deep voice and when this song came on the radio my little son would stop, listen, clap his hands and shout Dadda.
We had the hymn How Great Thou Art to please the Vicar, Elvis The Wonder of You which I hadn’t known about but he told my daughter it was for me. Then his My Way took him to the Cemetery.
I am having a full Catholic funeral so it’s hymns only for the service but I’m coming out to Jerusalem, School days, Choir, memories and in the Cemetery it’s The Seekers with The Carnival is Over, that’s me done.
I’m quite looking forward to it actually and a great wake after.

Here, here Chocolatelovinggran It has been played at every funeral I have been to recently.

I would like 'Soave Sia Il Vento' from 'Cosi fan Tutte' by Mozart and 'Morning' from Peer Gynt by Grieg.

I may have changed my mind when the time comes.

My mother insisted on having I will always love you by Whitney Houston played as we carried my father's coffin out of the church. I mentioned a few times he would hate it but she wouldn't listen. A cd version was found and checked but on the day after the first line , the cd stuck and stopped playing. I think Dad made his point lol

Yep, I'd return to haunt the family if they played me "My Way". I hate it with a vengeance .

Louis Armstrong’s Wonderful World has been “our song” for as long as I can remember so would certainly be at the end too. So many memories of this from our courtship, marriage, birth of children. When I hear it on the radio I have to stop and just listen, hubby says he does exactly the same.
Also In My Life by The Beatles 😊

I chose the Israel K’s Over the rainbow / it’s a wonderful world version for my mums funeral.
It’s very sad he died so young. .

I've heard that, and it is beautiful.

I would be happy with Somewhere over the Rainbow but by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

Hmm I will be too busy apologising for the mess I've left behind.
Must get on with throwing things away!

I can think of a few that would make it a blessed relief to slip away, knowing I've not got to hear them again.

😂😂😂

Right, thinking cap on

Haha, not sure, but if someone played most of those to me in my last moments, I'd be coming back to haunt them with a vengeance!

A message from the other side, saying "Ooh, bum!! I wish I'd had something different"

Has anyone reported from the other side of their ‘last moments of life’ whether they made they right choice, or whether they should have chosen something else?

Good Lord! None of the above. The Bluebird, by Stamford, sung by Kings College Choir, and I hope I would hang on long enough to fade away on that glorious final note.

Crumbs, they're a bit depressing and not my cup of tea I don't think.
For what it's worth I'd prefer "Always look on the bright side of life" and my DH the theme tune from The Great Escape!
