I once went to a funeral in London at some place called the Croydon Crematorium for the ex-husband of a good friend of mine. The music was atrocious, her ex insisted on having the top hits of some famous Irish Boy Band called Boyzone played as the gatherers waited for this curtain to open for the guy's casket to be seen. When the music stopped, someone walked her ex-husband's dog - a magnificent collie -- to have one of the mourner's seats from the proceesings in the front row. I heard someone say "Oh dear, I can't believe they brought the dog to the shake-and-bake" from one of the guests seated behind me and found it hard to keep it together.

In my (fortunately, 25 years old..) limited experience with taking care of someone’s funeral and discussing their favorite music for the funeral is that choosing to play the deceased's favorite music isn't selfish; rather, it's a compassionate act of honoring their memory and providing solace to those grieving. It's about celebrating their life in a way that reflects who they were and the joy they brought to others. The reactions of the ones present was actually heartwarming too, because they recognized it as their favorite music which for them made it feel more personal.

They had to forfeit the idea, all because of me. I did attend a funeral where Maurice Abravanel was the speaker and it was his concertmaster of many years who had passed away. They played a recording -- all of it -- of the concertmaster's rendition of "A Lark Ascending" and I have to say it was a powerful and wonderful experience, hearing the beautiful sounds of what this man had left behind (a recording!) It was one of the best moments I remember, sitting through a funeral. Maybe that could be an exception?

True story. A jazz fan died and asked for Ellie Fitzgerald singing ''Every time we say goodbye' at his funeral. But as the box slowly moved behind the curtains, out came the song ''Smoke gets in your eyes'' by the Ink Spots !! The funeral staff had put the tape recording in the player on side B by mistake. The mourners and his widow were left aghast at first, but soon realised the irony and left the service smiling and laughing.

It's even funnier when the person providing the recordings can't get them to work as happened at a funeral I attended. All was working perfectly when we walked into with jazz. Then after the eulogy the next song was `Everytime you say goodbye` by Ella Fitzgerald. Well he played a track of Ella that no one could remember. As his widow had been an opera singer she sang it accapella - particularly apt as her husband had been first attracted to her when he saw her singing in a choir! Then we were supposed to leave to Frank Sinatra's `Summer Wind` except I'd wondered if they'd swapped it for John Cage's 4'51. While everyone was looking at each other while silence triumphed the staff quickly put on Sarah Brightman's `Time to say goodbye`! Later, in the pub, we all suspected he'd see the funny side of it!

A Minister we knew was asked to step in and take a service at a crematorium at the last minute on behalf of a colleague who was sick. The deceased's wife had already been asked if she would like a hymn during the service and, not wanting to choose something miserable on an already difficult occasion , she had thought of a school hymn that was popular in the 1960s and 70s called 'Sing Hosanna.' Thus it was that the congregation for the cremation found themselves singing the verse : ' Give me oil in my lamp , keep me burning , keep me burning till the break of day.' After that the replacement Minister really did not know what to say!

Well this was interesting. I am more forbearing of the people who plan their post demise. At its best, the intention is to give those attending a moment that encapsulates something essential for people’s subsequent memories of the deceased. In the event…not that easy to accomplish, as ego gets in the way. For too long a time I entertained the fantasy of playing the ending of Strauss’ Daphne as either prelude or postlude to a memorial service. And then I moved on to thinking that a piece from the Saint-Saens requiem might suffice. Eventually, I snapped out of this ridiculous reverie. How overbearing and probably boring for most! Also, I am not any kind of personage. My atheist husband had specified: NO SERVICE. In the event, last summer, I couldn’t honor this. I fashioned a humanistic grave side service that was meant to last 15 minutes but went on for 25. No regrets, but I should have tightened it up. I did write a beautiful and worthy poem that deserved to make a final cut. I actually think you deserve something emblematic at the end of your service, assuming you have one. A single strike of the Gong with its reverberations into silence. I certainly don’t deserve the Gong. Maybe someone could shake an Indian rain stick instead. What I don’t want during my Mass are Catholic hymns. Music in most Catholic churches has de-evolved. My hovering soul would cringe. So, at the end, for now, I think you have this one right. Let’s go with a sacred silence.

Follow-up question, and perhaps an idea for future video. When the inevitable does occur, have you figured out the fate of all your recordings? As I add steadily to my collection (3 storage units full of CDs so far and counting) my husband jokes (maybe a little too seriously) that “when you die, you know I’m throwing all of this away, right?”. I already have carefully laid out plans for it to go to some friends, but if they die before me I am screwed. This makes me sad about a lot of important pirate performances that surely existed at one point and were tossed away by unsuspecting relatives (or worse…AIDS epidemic…). Callas MET and Chicago debut, the Leontyne Price Fanciulla del West, the Leonir Rysanek Gilda…👀

During lockdown, I came up with a funferal playlist that I shared with my family by WhatsApp. Among other songs, it includes Another One Bites the Dust (Queen), The Great Gig in the Sky (Pink Floyd), Paint It Black (Rolling Stones), White Rabbit (Grace Slick), All Good Things Come to an End (Nelly Furtado), 99 Luftballons (Nena), So What (Miles Davis), Astronomia 2K19 (the Ghana Pallbearers theme). And, especially, the Marcia Funebre from Beethoven's Eroica (the December 1944 Wiener Philharmoniker witrh Furtwängler). Deep down and even at skin level I recognise that I really am not worthy of such sublime music. My brother suggested Who Wants to Live Forever (Queen), I'm Walking on Sunshine (Katrina and the Waves), The Show Must Go On (Queen). And my sister added The Turn of a Friendly Card (Alan Parsons). My younger daughter said she'd like a New Orleans Swing Band. When my wife died I asked a friend to arrange the tribute, because we did not want a priest. He selected a couple of poems by Mario Benedetti for my daughters to read out, and I played the Pie Jesu from Fauré's Requiem conducted by Nadia Boulanger, and afterwards the Marcia Funebre from the Eroica. I turned down the thought of playing La Mamma Morta sung by Maria Callas--that would have been way too dramatic.

The advantage (but this might be a personal viewpoint) of growing up, living and/or dying in the European Catholic tradition, is the combination of a gothic or baroque church, a beautiful organ and an able organist (the most uncertain factor) who can play Couperin, Grigny, Buxtehude and/or Bach.
