Some super ideas, thank you! I think a person's choices should reflect very much their character and the life they've led. Wouldn't it be excellent if a CD of the music could be produced for each of the mourners to keep? Each Funeral CD would become quite collectable later! Maybe this is already done somewhere? Personally I feel music is a poignant and potent channel for memories and emotions, it so quickly rekindles everything one felt at the time. Much more effective than a spoken Eulogy! I can well imagine, Little Hawk, people being driven to commit murder during "My Way", I've had to restrain myself many a time! (I also unfortunately get a fit of the giggles, which is decidedly inappropriate.)
