AC/DC's 'Highway To Hell' Among Most Requested Funeral Songs

July 3, 2008

According to Telegraph.co.uk, AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" is becoming one of the most requested funeral tunes in the band's home country of Australia.

"Highway to Hell", with lyrics including "Going down, party time", is among a number rock classics, including LED ZEPPELIN's "Stairway to Heaven", that are replacing traditional hymns in Adelaide.

Funeral managers at Centennial Park, the largest cemetery and crematorium in the city, said only two hymns still rank among its top 10 most popular funeral songs: "Amazing Grace" and "Abide With Me".
