I think they are lovely choices, one of mine will be Nothing else matters by Metallica.

Make sure you communicate your wishes as otherwise a family member may do something else, which I have experienced and didn't find funny at all.

By *urry BlokeMan 11 weeks ago

I have only chosen one so far - the going out song

Tobi Legend - Time will pass you by

Contains the lyrics

Life is just a precious minute, baby

Open up your eyes and see it, baby

Give yourself a better chance

Because time will pass you right on by

They say a lot without being maudlin

We had Amazing Grace and Abide with me at my mums. Good choices.

Mine will be In My Life - The Beatles. I always thought I’d go for something humorous but fuck it, let them cry.

Always said that when I go to just chuck me in a skip or landfill.

However, if there were a couple of songs being played I would like them to be When You're Gone by The Cranberries, and Drowned On Dry Land by Del Amitri.

That will do me.
