I used to have a list of all the interesting songs I heard at funerals (I attended over 3000 in 7 years as a funeral escort).

The ones that stick out:
Elton John's "Daniel"
George Jones' "He Stopped Loving Her Today" at 2 funerals. One for a guy, and one for a woman.
Jimmy Buffett's cover of "Hey, Good Lookin."

I've got a couple I'd like played, but in the end, it's whatever the relatives I've got left want. I won't give a ****, I'll be dead.

Funerals are for the living. If they wanna spend the cash, I think it's silly, but it's their call.

Both of these songs are from the Japanese movie....Departures. It is an excellent movie about how a young man becomes an undertaker and the Japanese ceremony he performs is beautiful.


My wife wants this song playing as I say my final goodbye and know she is being cremated.



As for me....this as my wife tells me goodbye before the cremation.
