John Deacon writes about the tunes Brits favour at their funerals:

>The top traditional tunes are: 1 Abide with Me ; 2 The Old Rugged
>Cross; 3 The Day Thou Gavest; 4 All Things Bright and Beautiful; 5
>Ave Maria; 6 Nessun Dorma; 7 The Lord Is My Shepherd; 8 -23rd Psalm;
>9 I Walk With God; 10 Eternal Father.

Nessun Dorma? By no stretch could this be considered a traditional tune for
a funeral!  I bet it has only crept into service since it was featured at
the World Cup - in 1986, if I remember correctly.
