Planning the Funneral

1 minute read time.

We have registered the death and been to the funeral directors to arrange all the required paperwork. We have confirmed the date.

Now I just need to sort out the music, never been my strongest point. I'm more of a "if I hear a song I like I get it" kinda person rather than intro who sings what.

 

Thank goodness for the internet!

 

The Hymns I have chosen are:
                                                                In Heavenly love Abiding
                                                                Lord of all Hopefulness

David has welsh relations, some of which are members of the welsh choir or something. So we should be alright in voicing these.

 

To play as people arrive and depart is harder, I have narrowed down to the following, and thought I might also have them playing at the wake:
                                                                Goodbye my Lover by James Blunt
                                                                Because you Loved me by Celine Dion
                                                                Nothing compares to you by Sinead O Conner
                                                                Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum       (first song on exit)

Also to be played at the wake:
                                                                My heart will go on by Celine Dion
                                                                Knocking on Heavens door by U2
                                                                I'll be missin you by Puff Daddy
                                                                It must have been love by Roxette

    I wouldn't know where to look for Hymns either, so well done for finding something you like. The songs, whatever you use them for, are all beautiful and I'm sure they'll be appreciated. I know you'll have plenty to occupy you over the coming days, so I just wnat to say that I hope the funeral and wake go well.

    Love to you and yours, Ann x
