Sorry to hear about your friend; a good friend of mine who died aged 25 and she had "Who wants to live forever" by Queen played at her funeral she loved Queen though.

Edited to say she also had "You made me so very happy" by Blood Sweat and Tears.
Her husband choose "Lady" by Kenny Rogers

a friend of mine died from breast cancer...she was full of fun and picked her own music....spirit in the sky the original one.i like eva kennedy....somewhere over the rainbow.

we played "forever young" by bob dylan at my friends funeral, she was only 26 and died of cervical cancer so it was very apt!

'songbird' by fleetwood mac (or eva cassidy) is beautiful. we played it at my brother-in-laws funeral (32). don't know what the words really mean but it is just so lovely.

so sorry to hear about your loss.

Chow

please accept my sympathies,
the one i would like playing is.(excuse the spelling) Laby sifri,Barriers..(the higher you build your barriers,the stronger you become...theres something inside so strong etc)it means a lot to me but as i cant spell the name i cant search for it

Something Inside (So Strong)
The higher you build your barriers
The taller I become
The further you take my rights away
The faster I will run

You can deny me
You can decide to turn your face away

No matter 'cause there's
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone... oh no
There's something inside so strong
Something inside so strong

The more you refuse to hear my voice
The louder I will sing
You hide behind walls of Jericho
Your lies will come tumbling

Deny my place in time
You squander wealth that's mine
My light will shine so brightly it will blind you

Because there's
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone... oh no
There's something inside so strong
Something inside so strong

Brothers and sisters
When they insist we're just not good enough
Well, we know better
Just look 'em in the eyes and say
We're gonna do it anyway
We're gonna do it anyway
Because there's
Something inside so strong

what an angel you are!
i dont suppose you know how to spell the original singers name(??)
it was the one song that was on an advert for a car when my little was born premature,and it just means so much,it is one of my favourites
mel:)
thank you

Labi Siffre ;) :)

thank you so much,
at least i can get a copy now and send one to my hubby in iraq,he will be so chuffed(although he may cry(not good in front of army lads))

Hi,

We had Angels at my Grandsons funeral, he only lived a short time, we had Eternal never ever as well.
He died the day Robbie got into the charts. 30th Nov '97.

Whatever you choose you'll not be able to listen to it again without tears in your eyes.

Sorry for your loss, time heals but very slowly.

WE ALSO PLAYED ROBBIE WILLIAMS AT OUR SONS FUNEREAL.*SUPREME*
AND OASIS. CHAMPAGNE SUPERNOVA,

I'm so sorry - keep strong.

A bit of an oldie but a goodie and i find the words reassuring - "Don't Fear the Reaper", by Blue Oyster Cult.

It's about not fearing death and letting go and maybe that it is not the end.... "Romeo and Juliet are together in eternity..... " etc. I love it :)

Lindsay

Thanks once again everyone.The funeral went as well as could be expected on Friday.
Chow

A friend from school died at the age of 30 during a friendly football match, his wife chose 'Why' by Anni lennox, very fitting but very sad too
