Mine will be 'Fire' by the Crazy World of Arthur Brown. And yes I am serious I have it written down in my final wishes it matches with my weird sense of humour :-D

Presumably as the curtain closes, but would they have wanted that playing on repeat whilst dying?
Sometimes I think a title is appropriate then I read the lyrics. For the death bed I think Eddie cCochrans 'three steps to heaven' would be a good choice - but only the first verse
Now there are three steps to heaven
Just listen and you will plainly see
And as life travels on
And things do go wrong
Just follow steps one, two and three

There has been discussions in several papers about what you want playing whilst on your death bed and the music to play as the curtains close in the crem.

I asked OH if he wanted me to play his Leonard Cohen record whilst he was dying ( he’s not). They are an awful dirge. He said perhaps not unless he wanted to be alone in which case I could as they would clear the room :-D
