A friend of the family had "my way" by Sinatra (of course) at his funeral. That was actually a huge tear jerker for me, cause he really did do it his way. It was fitting.

When we have mum's funeral I sang Amazing Grace for her because she asked for it. We have Sarah McLaughlins "arms of the angel" as people were leaving the church. Ave Maria was played on the violin by one of my cousins as people were arriving.

It's important to have the right music at a funeral. The wrong sort of music can just make the whole thing even more dreadful than it already is.
