Amazing Grace is my favorite song. I've requested that it be sung at my funeral, and played by a distant piper at the internment.
This also brings back fond memories of a good friend who introduced me to The Statler Brothers in college.
I appreciate all you bring to FR, Kartographer.
Go one better, put all the songs you want on CD for your funeral. I’m at that age where people begin to plan for it. I have every thing laid out in a Medium plastic box, my instructions to the preacher, my music I chose by the artist I like, including the items that go in my coffin with me, down to my wedding ban and my Bible.
There will be NO funeral home music played, it is junk. I want a CELEBRATION collections of songs. I celebrate going HOME.
When my late husband died, I put the gospel songs he played and sang on CD, I did not care if it made some uncomfortable, it was HIS wish. Master’s Bouquet was one of his favorites. This is his version, you will have to turn up the sound. It is not fancy as I am just learning to up load to You Tube and do not know how to increase the volume there is a silent lead in so be patient. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQSXBcjrGP4
