Look on the bright side of funeral music
A surprising number of people would like Monty Python's 'Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life' played at their funeral, a survey has found.
The Life Of Brian theme has been named as the top "alternative" funeral song with one fifth of Brits wanting friends and family to hear it at their funeral.
A poll of over 750 people commissioned by the Children's Society also saw The Jam's 'Going Underground' and 'Fame! I want to live forever' as popular choices.
Cabaret by Liza Minelli came second with 17 percent with 'Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye' by Gracie Fields third with 15 percent
The survey also found how difficult people talking about funeral arrangements - nine out of 10 said it would be easier talking about sex. Easier for them maybe, but what about the funeral director?
