Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life by Monty Python & Eric Idle

Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you’re chewing on life’s gristle
Don’t grumble, give a whistle
And this’ll help things turn out for the best
And
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the light side of life
If life seems jolly rotten
There’s something you’ve forgotten
And that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing
When you’re feeling in the dumps
Don’t be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle, that’s the thing
And
Always look on the bright side of life
(Come on)
Always look on the right side of life
For life is quite absurd
And death’s the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow
Forget about your sin
Give the audience a grin
Enjoy it, it’s your last chance anyhow
So always look on the bright side of death
A just before you draw your terminal breath
Life’s a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life’s a laugh and death’s a joke, it’s true
You’ll see it’s all a show
Keep ’em laughin’ as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you
And
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the right side of life
(C’mon Brian, cheer up)
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
I mean, what have you got to lose?
You know, you come from nothing
You’re going back to nothing
What have you lost? Nothing
Always look on the right side of life
Nothing will come from nothing, ya know what they say
Cheer up ya old bugga c’mon give us a grin (Always look on the right side of life)
There ya are, see
It’s the end of the film
Incidentally this record’s available in the foyer (Always look on the right side of life)
Some of us got to live as well, you know
(Always look on the right side of life)
Who do you think pays for all this rubbish
(Always look on the right side of life)
They’re not gonna make their money back, you know
I told them, I said to him, Bernie, I said they’ll never make their money back
(Always look on the right side of life)

(Simply) The Best by Tina Turner

I call you when I need you, my heart’s on fire
You come to me, come to me wild and wild
When you come to me
Give me everything I need
Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams
Speak a language of love like you know what it means
Mmm, and it can’t be wrong
Take my heart and make it strong, baby
You’re simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I’ve ever met
I’m stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart
Baby, I would rather be dead
In your heart, I see the star of every night and every day
In your eyes, I get lost, I get washed away
Just as long as I’m here in your arms
I could be in no better place
You’re simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I’ve ever met
Ooh, I’m stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Don’t tear us apart, no, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead
Each time you leave me, I start losing control
You’re walking away with my heart and my soul
I can feel you even when I’m alone
Oh baby, don’t let go
Ooh, you’re the best, ooh
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I’ve ever met
Ooh, I’m stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Don’t tear us apart, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead
You’re the best
Ooh, you’re simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I’ve ever met
I’m stuck on your heart, baby
I hang on every word you say
Don’t tear us apart, no, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead
Oh, you’re the best
You’re better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I’ve ever met
Ooh, you’re the best

Angels by Robbie Williams

I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate?
And do they know the places where we go
When we’re grey and old?
‘Cause I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I’m lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I’m loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection, whether I’m right or wrong
And down the waterfall, wherever it may take me
I know that life won’t break me
When I come to call, she won’t forsake me
I’m loving angels instead
When I’m feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I’ll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She brings flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I’m loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection, whether I’m right or wrong
And down the waterfall, wherever it may take me
I know that life won’t break me
When I come to call, she won’t forsake me
I’m loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection, whether I’m right or wrong
And down the waterfall, wherever it may take me
I know that life won’t break me
When I come to call, she won’t forsake me
I’m loving angels instead

My Way by Frank Sinatra

My Way by Frank Sinatra

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I’ll say it clear
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain
I’ve lived a life that’s full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Regrets, I’ve had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way

I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried
I’ve had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows
I took the blows
And did it my way

Yes, it was my way

Bridge over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel

When you’re weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I’m on your side
Oh, when times get rough
And friends just can’t be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you’re down and out
When you’re on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I’ll take your part
Oh, when darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on, silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Oh, if you need a friend
I’m sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

We’ll Meet Again by Vera Lynn & Roland Shaw Orchestra

Let’s say goodbye with a smile, dear
Just for a while dear we must part
Don’t let this parting upset you
I’ll not forget you, sweetheart
We’ll meet again
Don’t know where
Don’t know when
But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through
Just like you always do
‘Til the blue skies chase those dark clouds far away
And I will just say hello
To the folks that you know
Tell them you won’t be long
They’ll be happy to know
That as I saw you go
You were singing this song
We’ll meet again
Don’t know where
Don’t know when
But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day
And I will just say hello
To the folks that you know
Tell them you won’t be long
They’ll be happy to know
That as I saw you go
You were singing this song
We’ll meet again
Don’t know where
Don’t know when
But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day

This experience was never going to be good, but Bina was so helpful and supportive. On the day everything went so smoothly and the team was so professional.

We would like to offer our deepest gratitude and appreciation for the care of our late father by the Uden team at the Camberwell office. The team are exceptionally incredible; from the genuine kindness and care shown, the professional execution of a delicate process, the attention to detail, the utmost respect shown from all staff - we will forever be grateful for making Dad's funeral a dignified ceremony.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I cannot recommend this funeral home highly enough. At an incredibly difficult and emotional time for our family, the care, compassion and professionalism we received were truly outstanding.From the very first conversation, we felt that we were in exceptionally capable and caring hands. Every detail was handled with sensitivity, dignity and genuine kindness. Nothing ever felt rushed or impersonal, and the team went above and beyond to make sure that everything was exactly as we wanted it to be.Their communication throughout was excellent, and they guided us through every step with patience and reassurance, taking an enormous amount of pressure away from us at a time when we really needed it.The funeral itself was beautifully and flawlessly handled. Every detail came together perfectly and, most importantly, our loved one was treated with the utmost dignity and respect throughout.We will always be incredibly grateful for the kindness and support shown to our family. It takes very special people to do this work with such compassion and humanity, and the service we received was exceptional from beginning to end.A heartfelt thank you from our entire family. We could not have asked for better care.

Abigail A.

Definitely a 5 star rating from planning to execution of arrangements. We felt supported and dealt with sensitively. Bina was our first contact and made such an impression on our entire family. Callum was also incredibly amazing on the day of the funeral giving attention to details . Overall an excellent team and first class service.

From our first contact to our last, Uden’s made an incredibly difficult and painful time feel so much easier and more manageable. Everyone was so professional throughout, while also being incredibly kind, compassionate and empathetic during such a difficult time in our lives.Everything ran so smoothly, which took away so much of the stress and worry for our family and allowed us to focus on saying goodbye.A special thank you to Bina, who was always so quick to respond to every question we had. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and her kindness and support meant so much to us.We’d also like to say a huge thank you to Stanley, who was with us on the day.

Terry B.

We cannot thank Udens Funeral Directors enough for the care, compassion and professionalism they showed our family following the loss of my wife.From the beginning, Bina was wonderful. Assisted by her colleague, Alfie, Bina guided us through every part of planning and arranging my wife's funeral service and burial with patience, sensitivity and genuine kindness. At an incredibly difficult time, they made sure everything was handled properly and that the service reflected the person my wife was. Most importantly, we always felt that my late wife was being treated with dignity, care and respect.A special thank you also goes to Jack, who brought my wife home to us overnight before the funeral. Having her home with us one final time meant more to our family than I can properly put into words, and Jack handled such a deeply emotional moment with enormous sensitivity and respect.On the day of the funeral, Lee looked after us exceptionally well. His calm, reassuring and professional manner helped carry us through one of the hardest days of our lives. Everything was handled with dignity and without us having to worry about what needed to happen next.What stood out throughout was that we never felt as though we were simply dealing with a funeral company. Bina, Alfie, Jack and Lee treated my late wife as a person and treated us as a family who had lost someone deeply loved.Thank you to everyone at Udens for taking such good care of my wife and for helping us give her the beautiful and dignified farewell she deserved. Our family will always be grateful.

Uden's are consistently excellent family funeral directors. They are highly professional, attentive, and well-organised. We have relied on Udens for the funerals of both of my parents and my aunt. They made the event solemn, dignified, and impressive.

Movell D.

Losing mum was very difficult and finding a funeral director who was going to help us give mum the send off she deserved was really important to us. Udens were perfect. From start to finish they gave us a service that was second to none. Unfortunately we have had 2 other family funerals and comparatively, this was by far the best service. Every detail was thought of at every stage. I injured my foot during the funeral and they even provided me with an icepack.Communication was taken very seriously. Every detailed was checked before proceeding to the next stage and everything was thought of in advance. Things that we hadnt considered as a family were thought of by Udens, like taking mums finger print so that we could use it for keepsakes. They ordered ties from Barbados for all of their staff to wear at the funeral. These are the kind of touches that made them stand out.The most important thing for us as a family was that everyone at Udens was so lovely. We really felt happy and comfortable with them and we felt as though they would treat mum as they would have treated one of their own family and thats exactly what they did.Our experience of working with Uden was memorable in the best way and a very difficult time was made so much easier by their thoughtfulness and professionalism. They are a family business and they treat you like part of their family. I would highly recommend choosing them for your familiy's funeral needs.

Joan H.

The service we received was exceptional. Bina, our coordinator, left no stone unturned. Everything we requested was handled with ease. My mother-in-law was dressed as we asked, and all our wishes regarding her were respected.On the actual day, the funeral procession was extremely professional. The team showed empathy, and Lee was very respectful, engaging, and supportive throughout the day. They were outstanding and truly a credit to the firm.Thank you all for a somber yet beautiful day. It couldn’t have gone any better.

Rosa C.

From our first contact with Uden's to our last, I can honestly say we were dealt with a great deal of professionalism and empathy.We were given relevant information and never pressurised to purchase anything more than we required.Throughout we received relevant emails to keep us updated. Letting us know our mother was with them and also enabling us to visit.The day before the funeral we received a call from them. This introduced us to the person looking after us on the day of the service. Which helped put us at ease.The funeral possession was done with great respect, from walking in front of the hearse, to moving her to the burial ground. You couldn't fault the way the team worked together.This is not my first experience with Uden's and although many year's apart. I can truly say there standards have remained very high.

Katie S.

Respectful, kind, caring, trustworthy and organised. Could not have asked for anything more from Jack, Bina and the entire team.
