Subject: RE: BS: Green Burial: How Do You Want to Go?
I hope the Big sing is also on the agenda Yas!

I think £2000 is too much. I would like to keep it well under £1000. I know someone published a book about DIY funerals a few years ago...I heard a prog about it on the radio. It's a case of working out what is legal and what isn't and what the people you leave behind will not be hurt further by, since, to a great extent, funerals are for the family, not the deceased.

What I want as far as music goes, is loud chorus songs such as those sung in the Middle Bar, and I particularly want "The Music Man" at the end. If Tony Day isn't around by then to sing it, someone else will ahve to! Among others I want "Blessed Quietness", Jon Heslop's "Send my soul to Fiddlers' Green" or whatever it's name actually is....damn! Can't think offhand of the others. A lot of the ones that Mike Gibson and co lead us in at the Big Sing on Sunday at Miskin.

Thinking about it, I'd also like solos by some of my favourite friend/singers interspersed with the chorus songs. I'll have to think about it further
