I'm not going to have a funeral. I have instructed my sons that I want a cremation only (they advertise it on the telly, only costs about £1000.). they cremate you and then send you the ashes. I've told them to put my ashes under the cherry tree in the garden.

I've already arranged a cremation with no funeral. But today I'd go with Tull.

Not a song so much, but rather an instrumental.

Whatever the number one song of 2070 happens to be is fine.

After watching the church scene in Kingsmen I decided on Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

1. In honor of my Scottish heritage: ("The Bonnie Banks of) Loch Lomond"
2. In honor of the great poet/WW II resistance fighter Hannah Senesh: "Eli, Eli (A Walk to Caesarea)" (music: David Zehavi to Ms. Senesh's poem)
3. In honor of my mother's (and my) love for the piece (though it's not really a song; it's a tone poem): "The Lark Ascending" by Ralph Vaughan Williams

That was played at my mum's funeral. They played THE LAST POST at my Dad's funeral when I was 12, in 1980. Even to this day, I can't listen to it without tearing up. At my father's funeral, they played "This is my Father's World". I listened to it in the literal sense; my father loved this world, all the animals, all the plants... "All nature sings and 'round me rings the music of the spheres." I couldn't sing along, I was too busy crying; this was a Southern Baptist funeral and I am an agnostic atheist; this was the one thing my father and I disagreed on. But we both loved Nature. It's one of the few poignant memories I have of the funeral. The rest was just another sermon. Everyone else sang along with gusto, "knowing" that Dad was in Heaven. I cried, because my Dad was gone. At my husband's funeral, the pipe organist played Mozart - my husband's favorite composer - and as a nod to my husband's best friend, who was a Scot, "Amazing Grace". For myself? I will be cremated and my ashes scattered from the same Colorado mountain top that I scattered my husband's ashes from. I would prefer my friends have a party, not a funeral, and drink and eat to excess, and re-tell all those stories that include me as the butt of the joke... there are so many! And my friends are just the right people to tell them with relish! A song?... If there is a pipe organ available... Bach's Jig Fugue... www.bing.com/videos/search?q=bach+jig+fugue&view=detail&mid=0926F24B9AA2BB314E120926F24B9AA2BB314E12&FORM=VIREThe organist really does dance a jig with the foot pedals. I've always wished I had the skill to play it.
