How's this for a grim topic?

My mother's (recent) funeral music was..

Green green grass, George Ezra..raised a few eyebrows as people walked in, but I know she loved it..

The butterflies garden, Andrea Tonoli..I initially went for a song by them that myself and my brother loved the sound of..but it was titled Funeral for the Black-hearted!..

Jim Reeves, I love you because.. my parents favourite song..


My list...

Comfortably numb..

Always look on the bright side of life..

Ma na ma na...
I love watching little children running and screaming, playing hide and seek in the playground.

I won't have pall bearers (straight from the crematorium chapel to the oven) but to play while everyone comes in


During the service (photos


While everyone come ups and pisses on the coffin and then buggers off for a drink on me
I drink and I forget things.

Saw Sandy Denny with Fairport Convention a couple of times when I was a kid
Beautiful voice but a troubled character.
