More specifically some of the music i'd like to have played when the time comes.
Don't get me wrong, i've no plans to clock out early!
The chosen songs are:
- Dear Jessie ~ Madonna
- Songbird ~ Eva Cassidy
- I Know You By Heart ~ Eva Cassidy
- Mary's Prayer ~ Danny Wilson
- Seek Ye First ~ Random Hymn
- Fly ~ Celine Dion
There are several reasons why i'd particularly like these songs: some nostalgic, some more meaningful.
I also feel more comfortable with the idea of being cremated and having some sort of send-off in a firework!
The most important thing though, is to have somewhere which is marked, where people can reflect, lay flowers or whatever...should they want to! This is so important to me because after a lovely friend C died some years ago, there was no defined place to lay flowers or just go and think about her.
Of course I know I can remember her anywhere, but I am a person who finds it helpful to have a place to go and reflect. So for this reason, it's important for me.
Right, now i'm off to bed.
Sleep well folks! x

I read somewhere that psalms are on the way out in British funerals, people choose pop songs instead. Your list certainly reflects that. And it's not surprising, is it? I can't remember the last time I heard a psalm.
hb: You're right! My list is total cheese. It's clear I won't be remembered for my sophisticated musical tastes. Oh well!
Thanks for your comment.
it was so cool how you wrote aboiut funerals and stuff. i never thought aboiut it before, coz it would be all that stuff when i was DEAD!!! and who would think that we would be able to make any decisions about that?!!!!
and its SO TRUE what hb was saying about psalms. I NEVER hear them, anywhere, and ITS LIKE THE ONLY PLACE THEY ARE HEARD IS IN CHURCHES OR MOSQUES OR SOMETHING!!!!!
I want "red, red wine" by UB40 to be played at my funeral, so coool!
kiera blogfan: I'm afraid you're rather behind the times.
