I recently attended a funeral which had a Humanist service. No funeral is a happy event but it was a very moving occasion with laughter and tears. I decided a long time ago that I would have a Humanist service and was thinking about which three pieces of music I would want. Any ideas?

J9, I've recently been to one, it was about the persons life & celebration of it. Yes it was quite uplifting. I was lucky to have known the person closely & added to His life story. His Wife chose His music, I'd heard Him whistle & sing the tunes. It was a sad/happy time.

, My Wife and I chose the music for her 'humanist' cremation.VERY sad times ,but as has been said over the past posts on the subject,nicer for freinds and family.IMO.Christmas was hard ,but i chose to go away and spend our memories together/alone.After 43 Christmases together ,it WAS hard ,but with a new year and new options ,i'm sure ,as everybody say's ,"it gets easier" Solo's helped in the early days too.

I want no fuss, would rather noone attend.
Once I'm dead, thats it, all done - gone!
Put me in a big cardboard box, wheel me out from the back of a couriers transit van on a pallet truck - no expense - jobs a guden!
Write your comments here...Totally agree. But if anyone does attend I want "whiter shade of pale" by Joe Cocker, and Albatross by Fleetwood Mac.

Ooooo! I want a big 'bash' when I go! 
Welsh choir, Welsh hymns and Queen singing me out! My husband says that I will have to have a 5 hour time slot in the Crem. to fit in all the music I want! And definitely no flowers in the shape of 'Mum' or 'Gran' I hate those! AND... a Welsh minister just in case there is a God!

I am a Welsh chapel girl Rocky! AND I still say my prayers but I wouldn't argue with the non-believers as none of us REALLY know do we?
