    I'm not one for modern songs at funerals, prefer a slit yer wrist hymn.

    The Old Rugged Cross should be banned for being so bloody morose!

    I now have 'How Great Though Art' on my IMJ.

    Chooooooooon!

    This was played at a friend of mine's cremation. He planned his own funeral when he found out his cancer was terminal. His Mum was not happy!

    [cite]Posted By: stoneroses19[/cite]Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

    Nearly brought a tear to my eye when I saw leonard cohen perform this on sunday.
    Just gone looking for that on the Beeb's site then remembered he banned his set from being filmed, sadly. I'm not a great Cohen fan at all...the term 'music to slit your wrists by' was invented with him in mind but would've liked to have hear his version of Hallelujah.

    That is tragic GH.
    This thread started off with a bit of black humour; I was going to post my 2 Johnny Cash Favs. It would be insensitive to do that now.

    Echo the sentiments to Goonerhater.


    <my own preferemce would be Jay Ungar's Ashokan Farewell, plus, heavily influenced by a couple of year's in Sweden, Benny Anderssons Orkestras "Finalpotpurri", a deliciously upbeat collection of folksy refuse-to-let-them-grind-you-doen tunes
