If there's an afterlife, this is what I suspect (and hope) will be playing in the waiting room when we die.

Lovely and evocative of a gentler time. Thanks for posting.

It still is the signing off tune on BBC radio 4. After picking up all the idiots out of the pubs and clubs and I hear this at 12.45am I know its time to go home and I'm smiling from ear to ear. Thank you radio 4 for playing it every night :)

@urobu Thank you so much. I have heard this music many years ago when I was in Britain. If I remember correctly it used to be the signing off tune for one of the BBC channels. I have tried in vain to find its composer and the exact title of this piece of music. I used to drift off to sleep with this music in my ears all those years ago.

Mum loved this. We cremated her in Bangor on Wednesday. Especially poignant are the images that this poster has submitted. Thank You.

Some One's Taking the Piss, One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest springs to mind,

In April 2009 the BBC reported that, in a poll, this was one of the songs which people would most like to have played at their funeral. Apparently it came on at bedtime and for kids has lovely nostalgic feel. I'm American, I never heard it before-- yet somehow it reminds even me of my childhood. It's so Fifties and Early Sixties, in its arrangement. If you like this, try Art Mooney's I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover, NYC radio played it ever morning as a wake-up song. This one's for bed.

All these pieces make me remember the past and make me feel old :-(
