Frank Sinatra at top of chart for funeral songs

Other favorites chosen by mourners and noted by Centennial Park, the largest cemetery and crematorium in Adelaide, Australia:

#2 Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong

Only two hymns still rank among the top ten  - Amazing Grace and Abide with Me.

Australians making odd choices for funeral songs

Among other less conventional choices were "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" by the Monty Python comedy team, "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead," "Hit the Road Jack," "Another One Bites the Dust" and "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead."
