Apologies to anyone recently going through a bereavement. Even the mention of death and funerals can tweak emotions.

I'm sure you've all thought about what you'd like played at your funeral. I know I have since I was a moody young kid. When I was 14/15 I would have wanted either Nirvana's 'Something in the Way' or Marilyn Manson's 'Man that you Fear'. How things have changed. Without sounding like I'm being patronizing to anyone still listening to that music but I'm just glad I'm long past that stage of my life.

But funerals don't have to be all morbid. Especially not mine. I'm approaching mine with an angle. How about Elton Johns 'I'm Still Standing'? Or Madness's 'One Step Beyond'?

Sinatra's 'That's Life' also deserves an honourable mention. Mind you I've promised everyone I know I've got to sing it at a kareoke before I die.

Here's your time to shine people, what are yours. Be truthful, creative, funny whatever. I'll still give you a hug and rub your little shiny faces.
