Just make sure the church has the appropriate licence. YOu need a
special one to play recordings. Check with the CCLA

Oh dear! :-)

Playback of the deceased's favourite music at the funeral is pretty
universal nowadays. I'm sure the church has approached this issue.


Yes, so am I and the Funeral Director concerned fully knows the score as
this a regular (100%?) practice nowadays, I gather....

Moira's mum (who the music is wanted for) is the LAST person who would have
wanted to rip anyone off, believe me. The CD 'Highland Cathedral' *has* been
ordered from Amazon (Order #026-3038464-8074002) which covers that one - Mel
Gibson and James Horner will just have to do the big thing and take it on
the chin for their part. (It's just the one gig.........)

I've got my own theories about how the 'Royalties' system and decades of
greedy overpricing have caused the MI's current problems (if problems they
really be - maybe it's just time they grew up a bit) but now is not the
time......

Many thanks, once again, to those who responded.
