Carried Leons Coffin in to Time - Pink Floyd, Reflective song was Ride on - Ac/Dc and Carried Coffin out to Badd to the Bone. Stevie Raye was also a choice, The Sky is crying (as it rained from the moment Leon died for a couple of days hard) or Riviera Paradise (or whatever its called)

Dark Side of the Moon is an extremely emotional CD for me now days - and If I could sing, I would sing Great Gig in the Sky, but it just sounds like a swung cat out of my vocal cords...

THE LEADER OF THE PACK. Can't recall who sang this.

I was always impressed with the 'dirge' that was played at Diana's funeral.

Me I'm bit partial to the bagpipes. Attended my Auties funeral many years back in Dunedin. It was a cold, bitterly cold day at the Dunedin cemetary and a southerly was whipping up the sea. Low cloud and sea fog masked the white caps foaming out as far as the eye could see. Then this lone piper played a lament. Tear jerking stuff I tell ya.
