Not meaning too sound morbid (promise) however would just like to say in this world of songs replacing hymns at funerals for many years now I have a copy of my will hiding away with a request for the 'Ballad of the Faithful Departed' to be played. Ever since I heard the lyrics "and they'll bury you upright so the sun doesnt blind you" etc it sent a shiver down my spine. And yes you've guessed it I have also aksed to be buried like this! Only 39 so hopefully a few years off yet, but thanks for such an incredible song!
Always pleased to be useful in the matter of transition or transformation - from youth to maturity, from wisdom to innocence, from drunken sobriety to abstemious joyfulness, from life to death, all the important stuff................
