45cellar Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Pyramid. Has anyone else encountered this, I'm not sure if it's the case everywhere. Sadly my father in law passed at Christmas, we had his funeral at the beginning of this year. The question of music to be played came up, and I was shocked to discover that they had stopped people bringing their favourite CD or tape etc Apparently, If it isn't on our vast database they said then unfortunately we can't play it. We do try and have only failed a couple of times to find someones favourite piece of music. Shocked Surely this is wrong. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Matt Male Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I've heard of people who have taken their favourite piece of vinyl with them in the coffin. I also heard on the radio a while ago that you can now have your ashes pressed up as a 45. The question is would you like to spend the rest of eternity as a bootleg...?

Guest Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) eddie parker - im gone In respect of records for a funeral service , I would have to select one of the best pieces of music that I have heard / played at one , to be the one that took the coffin of dear Dave Godin into the crematorium ....... the theme from " Gone With The Wind " . It made me smile upon hearing it , as it was typical David ; knowing it will have been selected by him , to create such an effect , and being very much tongue in cheek ....... In respect of three tunes to dispatch this mortal frame off to , It has long been a subject of discussion at Chez Burton .... and I still have not decided on the other two to accompany Esther Phillips' " Just Say Goodbye " ; but one of them is likely to be Big Maybelle's " Oh Lord , What Are You Doing To Me " . My family respect that I want a New Orleans Jazz Band after the service - to go to the wake of course - and I am hopeful that they will incorperate " You Didn't Say A Word " and " Thumb A Ride " into their repotoire .

Geoff Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Shocked to read that the powers that be would not allow the family not to have their favourite music. When my father was cremated we had three pieces of classical music that my sister said he particularly liked. For my wife I had three I knew she wanted (McArthur Park, Pearl Fishers Duet, Bridge Over Troubled Water), and This Old Heart Of Mine (her first present to me) and for the coffin going behind the curtain Jimmy Radcliffe's Long After Tonight Is All Over, one she loved and had danced to at Whitby only a short time earlier. For myself I want These Memories (Almeta Lattimore) and It's An Uphill Climb To The Bottom (Walter Jackson) definitely. Can't make up my mind about the others, something dancey I think. On a serious note it would probably be a good idea to have something in your will about your choice of music, would help grieving relatives.
