Jacqueline du Pre playing the Elgar Cello Concerto. The most perfect music ever written to these ears.

Re: Following on from Epitaphs. choice of music at funeral
It's difficult to think of two pieces of music but "At Last" by Etta James and "Albatross" work very well. Of course "Don't Fear the Reaper" should suit those in my family that have a sense of humour and that know me well.

Re: Following on from Epitaphs. choice of music at funeral
Adagio in G minor by Albanoni (arranged by Giazotto). And of course, the venue should suitably contain a very large pipe organ with perhaps a string quartet. And Miserere by Gregorio Allegri, of course with a full choir as well.
There won't be a dry eye in the house!!
Problem is, I'm not religious and most large pipe organs are found in Catholic, or at least significant churches. And another problem would finding the Choir.
And it's likely there will be few attending, which would probably mean the music will sound even better.

I would also like dust in the wind by Kansas, that would be good
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

The second half of 'driving the last spike' by genesis. Rousing and emotional, yet uplifting too. I won't be there so it doesn't matter too much 
Epitaph - Tried to do the right thing yet frequently surrounded by fools.
I know who I'd have rather been.
(And yes the smiley needs to be on the stone too)

Ahh but you don't know that.

When my dad passed away, we had some weird stuff happened in our house for a few weeks afterwards.
We had the radio turn itself on twice and the TV once when nobody had touched either. One of the radio happenings was in the middle of the night. None have happened before or since.
