We had never talked about if one of us died. So I didn’t have a clue what music to pick for his funeral . The song played as he was going into crematorium was Only you , the Flying Pickets version. The next song I chose was Maroon Five . Memories. In lock down I loved that song . It seemed every time I went anywhere in husbands car . The radio would play it . He always said ’ I put it on specially for you darlin " I always said it was our lock down song and would always remind us of all the days we spent together in lockdown . Little did I know , the following year I would be using it at his funeral :cry:. I couldn’t find a song for the end of his funeral . One night I had been listening to radio , and must of fell asleep . I was woken by radio playing ,Three Steps To Heaven by Showadadywady. My husband liked them when we were first courting . So I used that song . X

Hi Broken222 sorry for your loss we talked about ours my husband wanted 1st song “This is the Road to Hell”, 2nd Arthur Brown “Fire” last song “Born to be wild” he wanted a party with a cake so we hired a function room played all his heavy rock music he loved and boy did he get the send off he planned even to were he wants his ashes spread round this big oak tree with his dog at the crematorium .
Because you were stuck on that last song your husband made your mind up for you, as mine he wanted a Direct cremation so that’s what we gave him the funeral directors rang to let us know they were setting off and on the radio the song Born to be wild came on my daughter said he’s given you a sign I’m sure your husband would have been really proud ofcthe send off you gave him you take care

@Jennison1946 , Thank you . Yes that’s what I thought when I heard that song . It must of took a lot of strength from you , to give your husband the send off he wanted. Especially at the very start of this grief. I don’t like to call it a journey , to me a journey ends . But I think this grief for our partners will never end . We do adapt and carry the grief with us , as well as the love we have for them . …I have told my two kids ,I just want a direct funeral , and for them to just play all the music I like and to get drunk if they want . My son is funny . He said " so as they carry you out of the house ,do we just play Bat out of hell , very loud " … That’ll do for me . X

@Martin2 , lovely songs . I’m sure your doing your wife proud . Only 8 weeks . I wasn’t eating or sleeping or even brushing my hair 8 weeks after my husband died. I was a right scruff. Lol. Over two years for me now , and I still breakdown , we have to release the pain and emotions we feel, somehow. Sending hugs x

Broken222 there’s nothing wrong with breaking down I was told once they pass, the love you have for them is bouncing around inside you and the only way to get it out is cry and I certainly do my fair bit of crying it just comes from know ans as you said the pain and emotionhas to go somewhere take care
