I'm still working on my list...it's a big decision and I've got loved ones to think about. Bear with. Just keep it brief please. We're hungry and want to get to your M&S sausage roll and prosecco reception without unecessary delay. |

Okay okay, you've rushed me but here goes!
Ebben! Ne andrò lontana from La Wally
For Good from Wicked
The Flower Duet from Lakme
An Old Fashioned Love Story from The Wild Party
Gimme Gimme Gimme by ABBA of course!
Hopefully they'll leave laughing and skipping all the way to a fabulous cold spread including M&S Davidstow cheddar and dry cure smoked bacon sausage rolls and my fave tipple at the mo, Cava! Have one of each for me BurlyBeaR!

We used some of the orchestral music from ‘The Hunting of the Snark’ at my Dad’s funeral during the committal (it was his favourite show too, he saw it 4 times). That was beautiful and the vicar had obviously practised speaking over the top of it because the rhythm of the words matched the music. I was really impressed with the effort he put in to the service.
Unfortunately the crematorium got the music for the entry wrong – it was meant to be the Top Gun anthem (he was in the military), but they played ‘Take My Breath Away’ instead. I actually thought it was funny in a tasteless-for-a-funeral-but-also-fitting kind of way!
I always thought for myself it would be something from the Snark, or For Good.
But maybe I’ll change my mind to ‘Don’t leave me this way’ from Priscilla ;-)

This thread is amazing.
I am so having Imelda Staunton screaming 'Here she is boys, here she is world, here's Rose' as they carry me in.

''Bella, ciao''. I love that song and all the best people have had it at their funerals, so despite the fact that I'm neither the best person nor particularly bella, it's still the one I want. It would fittingly commemorate my life-long proletarian struggle for cheap theatre tickets.
