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
