Monty Python's 'Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life' has been named as the top "alternative" funeral song.
A survey commissioned by the Children's Society saw the 'Life Of Brian' theme beat competition from The Jam's 'Going Underground' and The Animals's 'We Gotta Get Out Of This Place'. A fifth of respondents said that they would like Eric Idle's version of 'Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life' to be played at their funeral while 16% went for 'Cabaret', sung by Liza Minnelli.

Other choices included Sid Vicious's cover of 'My Way' and 'Enjoy Yourself, It's Later Than You Think' by the Specials.

I always play this at low volume as I'm packing away my lighting and stuff, the crowds always end up singing along - I never do 'turn it up' tho' - parties over people, get your coats.

Na, don't play anything when packing up. Its too easy to get grief. Get the venue to put lights up (they'll want to get home asap too), and start packing up asap.

Personally, would want "teenage kicks", or something by Dusty when I finally cash in!
Bit of a difference there, but love both!

I have strict instructions for my funeral.
I want to be cremated and have Bruce Sprinstein's "I'm on fire" played as I go through the curtains.
