Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life from Monty Python has been named the top alternative funeral song.
The song got a fifth of the vote and beat off competition from The Jam's Going Underground and The Animals' We Gotta Get Out Of This Place.
A popular choice was Cabaret by Liza Minnelli which secured 16 per cent of the vote
The survey was commissioned by the Children's Society.
Spokeswoman Lorraine Groves told the Daily Telegraph: "Funerals have changed a lot in the past few years - more people are planning ahead to make their funerals personal and reflective of themselves.
"We know many people prefer a simple affair and would rather their mourners give donations in memory rather than lots of flowers, along with a little light hearted twist during the proceedings like an alternative song."
