Abide With Me? The choir sang Let It Be at my niece's funeral and it was beautiful and perfect.
Fred: Oh my God! Angel, you're…cute! Angel: Fred, don't! Fred: Oh, but the little hands! And the hair! Angel: Hey! You're fired.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Amazing Grace is on the list already.
I really like "How Lovely Are the Messengers" and kind of hope I can convince my mother to let it be played as an instrumental.
Did I mention I'm singing?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
My mother wants "In the Garden" and "There is a Balm in Gilead." She has informed me sternly that if "Nearer My God to Thee" is played, she will haunt me.
I want my friends to get drunk and sing "Will the Circle Be Unbroken."

We are short two hymns and/or songs for my grandfather's funeral and no one can decide what to use.
At my mom's memorial, we used "Ah, leave me not to pine" from The Pirates of Penzance. And something from Bach that I'm not remembering right now.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
It's not specifically funereal, but I've always thought Pat Benatar's "One Love" had an uplifting message and would sound beautiful sung as a choral number.

My sister played Ashokan Farewell at my mom's.
I want my friends to get drunk and sing "Will the Circle Be Unbroken."
I like that idea.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Nope. So far I've been too lazy to look at tumblr.
