Jealous of the Angels by Donna Taggart | W. Uden & Sons Funeral Directors

Jealous of the Angels

I didn’t know today would be our last
Or that I’d have to say goodbye to you so fast
I’m so numb, I can’t feel anymore
Prayin’ you’d just walk back through that door
And tell me that I was only dreamin’
You’re not really gone as long as I believe
There will be another angel
Around the throne tonight
Your love lives on inside of me
And I will hold on tight
It’s not my place to question
Only God knows why
I’m just jealous of the angels
Around the throne tonight
You always made my troubles feel so small
And you were always there to catch me when I’d fall
In a world where heroes come and go
Well God just took the only one I know
So I’ll hold you as close as I can
Longing for the day, when I see your face again
But until then
God must need another angel
Around the throne tonight
Your love lives on inside of me
And I will hold on tight
It’s not my place to question
Only God knows why
I’m just jealous of the angels
Around the throne tonight
Singin’ hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I’m just jealous of the angels
Around the throne tonight

(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

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

You Raise Me Up by Westlife

When I am down and oh my soul so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit a while with me

[Chorus]
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up, to more than I can be

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up, to more than I can be

[Chorus 2: Westlife & Choir]
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains (Stand on mountains)
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas (Stormy seas)
I am strong (I am strong), when I am on your shoulders (I am strong)
You raise me up, to more than I can be
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains (Stand on mountains)
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas (Stormy seas)
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up, to more than I can be
You raise me up, to more than I can be

Morning Has Broken by Cat Stevens

Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world
Sweet the rains new fall, sunlit from Heaven
Like the first dewfall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God’s recreation of the new day
Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world

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

Adam at the Bexleyheath branch could not have been more helpful. He explained everything and made, what was a really sad time, a little easier to navigate. He showed every respect to us as a family. He chose a lovely celebrant, who also showed the right amount of empathy and compassion. The funeral itself went smoothly, I am glad I made the decision to trust Uden and son's.

Pat M.

The funeral Ditector Jackson was a great help and comfort to the Family. Conducted the Funeral with Respect, Dignity and great direction. Friends and family commented on how well they presented and matching ties to the colour of the yellow theme, was a lovely touch. An amazing experience. Well done and Thank you

Debbie G.

If I could give more stars I would, Udens at Sidcup were amazing, very professional and caring. From the moment I spoke to Spencer to the moment Lee walked my husband into the crem, the boys were thoughtful tentative. I can highly recommend Udens. They looked after my husband and they certainly looked after the rest of the family keeping us updated at all times in our darkest days.

Having no idea where to start with organising a funeral or which undertakers to choose, we were incredibly fortunate to have W.Uden & Sons in Petts Wood recommended to us. Their service, from beginning to end was 5 star, from the inital phone call with Allan to being dropped off at The Bull after the service. Nothing was too much trouble. Andrea took us through all our options and made everything seem so easy. The celebrant chosen by them was Sarah Sweeney.... she was an absolute angel and wrote the perfect eulogy for us, and then delivered it with both dignity and humour. The extra touches with the orange ties and making sure we were happy with the arrangements on the coffin and in the chapel were just perfect and took all the worry out of what was an emotional day. Joe and the team were very professional and respectful, the way they took the coffin out of the car and into the chapel with military precision was a feat in itself. All in all, I cannot recommend this company highly enough. Thank you all so much, especially Joe and Sarah.

Sally F.

We used Udens in Eltham for my husband’s funeral. From start to finish they did a fantastic job. Sarah and her team were so helpful and professional while also being very kind caring and supportive throughout.

Danny F.

I cannot thank Uden Funeral Directors enough for the care, compassion, and professionalism they showed during such a difficult time for our family after losing two loved ones within close succession of one another. From the very first conversation, we were treated with kindness, dignity, and genuine understanding, guiding us through every step of the process with patience and sensitivity. A very special mention to Adam who has been amazing, kind, caring and compassionate throughout.The attention to detail was exceptional, and nothing ever felt too much trouble. Adam and his team took the time to listen to our wishes and ensured that every aspect of the funeral and service reflected our loved ones perfectly. They made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel manageable and supported throughout.Both funerals were beautifully organised, and many of our family and friends commented on how respectful and seamless everything was. Due to our previous connection, Spencer so very kindly agreed to stand in and conduct both funerals. He did so as he did before, so professionally and respectfully. It gave us great comfort knowing that both us and our loved ones were in such capable and caring hands.I would highly recommend Uden Funeral Directors to anyone looking for a professional, compassionate, and trustworthy funeral service. Their dedication to helping families through one of life's most difficult moments is truly outstanding.Thank you

Jojo K.

I am very grateful to your company for providing the best service for my husband's funeral.

Lesley S.

Excellent from start to finish. Couldn’t have done anymore than what they did for our family. I work in the bereavement sector and Udens are a funeral directors you can trust.

Angela S.

From the beginning of our sad journey Uden’s treated us with respect from the lovely Spencer talking us through the process to even with one of sisters on FaceTime and organising the wonderful Nicola to take the service , Jason and Nick being on the end of the phone to answer any questions to the lovely (and very tall) Lee helping us on the day of our mother’s funeral to give mum the very best we could . I can’t recommend them highly enough or thank them enough.

Liam E.

I find this hard to write as it was such a sad occasion but W Uden and sons went out of their way to make this as seamless and professional as possible. All costs were explained, we could visit when we wanted and mum was treated with the greatest of respect. The whole process was extremely transparent and the staff were amazing. Spencer took us through everything and Lee was excellent on the day. I cannot fault any part of their service and would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

Jessica P.

The Quinnell family would like to thank Udens and Sarah, at Eltham, for the excellent and professional service you gave us for our dear Brother Mark who passed on 31st March. The Celebrant Sarah did the most wonderful service and everyone said what a lovely send off for Mark. Thank you Udens for making it a memorable day on 22nd May 2026.

The care , compassion and professionalism from these guys was outstanding, nothing was to much trouble . When our dad Arthur Walker was collected from home he was covered in a velvet throw much better than seeing a body bag , so classy! The chapel of rest was beautiful too , not like others I’ve seen . So from start to finish an excellent service , our dad’s little French bulldog lead him out on the day which was beautiful. The guys and cars were immaculate. Highly recommend these guys , our first time using W.Uden & Sons

David E.

Faultless service from the Uden's team at Sidcup. They could not have been more supportive and helpful to me and my family. On the day, the cars were spotlessly clean and the friendly team were immaculately dressed. I cannot recommend Uden's enough.

Jean B.

As a family we have had the privilege of using Uden’s Camberwell before over the last few years. Each time they have made the process so easy. From the time that we made the initial call to the day of the funeral they were in constant contact. Nothing was too small. Everyone we spoke to was very professional and extremely supportive. I cannot thank them enough.

Kim P.

Uden's recently oversaw my dad's funeral and I cannot praise them highly enough. From the very first contact with Spencer through to the actual day when Stanley looked after us, the standard of professionalism and respect shown was second to none. I felt in totally safe hands as such a vulnerable time, nothing was too much trouble for any of the team. I cannot thank them enough for the respect shown to my dad and the support we received, fantastic family run service and can't recommend highly enough.
