What songs would you like Played at your Funeral?

[Pixel]

I hate thinking about stuff like this. Originally I wanted Nightwish 'Two For Tragedy' but now I'm not sure. Knowing my luck I wouldn't get any song I wanted; my family would probably insist on hymns only, which I really would not want.

I am going to be cremated with no service, ashes dispersed in the headwaters of the Buffalo River in Arkansas. But if I was to have a service, I would like for these songs to be played.

"A Distant Thunder" and "Vale Of Tears" / Little Feat "Under the Radar"

"A Distant Thunder"

If I had any control over the actual music being played, I would most certainly have these played:
- Art Of Life ~ X Japan
- Eluveitie
and
- Frederick Chopin

the ship song - nick cave
song to the siren - this mortal coil
get up - james brown

 

[Lynch]

To be honest with you, I've never really put much thought into this before. I have to agree with the OP of this thread, I want people celebrating my life with a big ass party. I don't want anyone sitting around all sad and stuff.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I don't want any specific songs played at my funeral. I'd rather have someone put my iPod on shuffle and just have everybody groove to whatever plays until the party ends.

 

[Mr. T]

Fire - The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown (I plan on being cremated)

 

[Riff Raff]

Would want nothing else.

Don't think it much matters ,since I won't be able to enjoy it lol

However, I'm assuming someone in my family will play The Beatles..and If i go before Pete (my bf) I hope he plays me something on his guitar if he's not too old to

Especially a Queen tune...I don't want to be buried I want to be cremated and tossed into the Atlantic ..if I'm in the states , Off cape cod where my British family..first stepped foot on American soil ...if I'm in the Uk (expect to be) then into the old dirty Mersey ...

but I doubt anyone will do these ..they all want a grave to cry at..I want them to put me into the sea..the place of continous life...you know the circle of life ? lol..

Silly but that my wishes..no religious crap thats all..

First off, I am too young to think about taking that dirt nap.

Second, I dont want any sappy songs that will make people cry.

I Remember You ~ Skid Row
November Rain ~ Guns n Roses
Nothing Else Matters ~ Metallica

Time of Your Life ~ Green Day
Forever Young ~ Rod Stewart
