By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

1 I’m just a weary pilgrim,
Plodding thru this world of sin;
Getting ready for that city
When the saints go marching in.
Refrain:
When the saints go marching in,
When the saints go marching in;
Lord I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in.
2 My father loved the Savior,
What a soldier he had been!
But his steps will be more steady
When the saints go marching in. [Refrain]
3 And mother, may God bless her,
I can see her now, as then;
With a robe of white around her
When the saints go marching in. [Refrain]
4 Up there I'll see the Savior
Who redeemed my soul from sin,
With extended hands He'll greet me
When the saints go marching in. [Refrain]

George Winston has some wonderful piano instrumentals and I downloaded one to a CD to give to the funeral home for the service.
They raved about it and said they played it several times during the day.
The name of the song is Color Dance
No one can sing How Great Thou Art the way the late great Dixie Carter could.
Danny Boy

Your song lyrics for your dad reminded me of a cowboy song I always thought would have been perfect for my dad.
“ When the Sun Sets on the Sage”. By Commander Cody
When the sun sets on the sage I'll say how do you do
That's when cowboys go to sleep, oh dee, oh ee ley ee who
And my pony will be waiting in the dust for me
Say adiós when the sun sets on the sage
Fare thee well, Oh fare thee well I'll say goodbye to you
Supper's waiting on the table, oh dee, oh ee ley ee who
And the cattle, they are roaming, going home to rest
Say adiós when the sun sets on the sage
The sky is all aglow, the shadows are falling
Now it's high time to go, hear those gentle voices calling
No more weeping, no more tears, I want a smile from you
We'll be parted for a while, oh dee, oh ee ley ee who
But our hearts will still remember that our love was true
Say adiós when the sun sets on the sage
I'm leavin' my family
And leavin' my friends
My body's at home
But my heart's in the wind
Where the clouds are like headlines
On a new front page sky
My tears are salt water
And the moon's full and high
And I know Martin Eden's
Gonna be proud of me
And many before me
Who've been called by the sea
To be up in the crow's nest
And singin' my say
Shiver me Timbers
I'm a-sailin' away
The fog's liftin'
And the sand's shiftin'
And I'm driftin' on out
And Ol' Captain Ahab
Ain't got nothin' on me
So come on and swallow me, don't follow me
I travel alone
Blue water's my daughter
And I'm gonna skip like a stone
And please call my missus
Tell her not to cry
My goodbye is written
By the moon in the sky
And nobody knows me
I can't fathom my stayin'
And shiver me timbers
I'm a-sailin' away
And the fog's liftin'
And the sand's shiftin'
And I'm driftin' on out
Ol' Captain Ahab
He ain't got nothin' on me
So come on and swallow me, don't follow me
I travel alone
Blue water's my daughter
And I'm skippin' like a stone
And I'm leavin' my family
And I'm leavin' my friends
My body's at home
But my heart's in the wind
Where the clouds are like headlines
On a new front page sky
And shiver me timbers
I'm a-sailin' away
There aren't any set rules stating that a funeral has to be somber; just look at how funerals are traditionally done in New Orleans.
As for me, I want a snarky comedian give my eulogy. Reason: look at the 1st 3 letters in FUNERAL...FUN!
