Admittedly, not the cheeriest of topics but I'd love to know what song or songs you'd like to have play at your funeral? How would you like to say goodbye to the world and what final memory of yourself would you leave to your loved ones?
Having a rather perverse sense of humour I've toyed with the idea of Living in a Box by Living in a Box but as I'd like to be cremated that wouldn't be factually accurate.
I wanted something musically epic, with a touch of relevance so I decided on this version of one of the greatest songs ever:
I also love the lyrics to this Linkin Park song so would probably have this one too...

Ah I recently had cause to reflect on this point. Here is a series i came up with
All ways look on the bright side of life - Monty Python
Knocking on Heavens Door - Warren Zevon version
Changes - David Bowie
Along the Watchtower - Jimmy Hendrix version
Girl from the North Country - Dylan
just for a start

I am not the only one crazy enough to want that!
Other possible, and probably more appropriate options:
Time - Alan Parsons Project
Where Peaceful Waters Flow - Chris De Burgh
Wake Me Up When September Ends - Green Day
Probably something by The Moody Blues but I can't think of a good one right now.
These tracks are the ones I chose to spin at my wake and burial seeing as my funeral arrangements are paid for and my parents can mourn my death in peace.
These three songs on replay on my wake:
TROIS GYMNOPEDIES (FIRST MOVEMENT) by GARY NUMAN
COLOURS OF RAIN by VNV NATION
13 GHOSTS II by NINE INCH NAILS
and on my burial
WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR by CLIFF EDWARDS
DAZZLE by SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES

The Fields of Athenry. It's an Irish folk ballad about the Great Famine. Any version is good, but I like the Irish bagpipes.

On second thought, let's have the whole town sing to my demise....
Such a beautiful song.
Such a beautiful song.
Quote by IMPÜRETHOUGHTSYes, we do. Our wills specify we are to be cremated, the cremains are to be placed into a brown, untreated paper bag and buried or scattered on our property where our pets are buried. This way whatever minerals are left will return to the soil. IF there's anything microbes can feed on they'll consume that and it'll be the start of us becoming part of the food chain which will continue until the sun flares out and the earth becomes stardust.
You have that in writing? Because if you and I were friends, you wouldn't leave w/out a proper service.
We came into this world without a lot of fanfare and we are planning on leaving without a lot of fanfare.

My Way. I prefer the Sex Pistols version but I dislike some of the changed lyrics.

I'd like this to be played during the cremation...
To be precise, I'd like them to press the button which starts the coffin rolling into the crematorium itself just at the end of the 'clean' intro, that'd be an epic way to go on this final journey... 😉
And I'd like "My body lies but still I roam" carved upon my 'stone', aka the cover of the alcove which will contain my urn in the familial vault...😋
(If "Wherever I May Roam" isn't possible for some reason, then Apocalyptica's cover of "Nothing Else Matters" would be my 2nd choice. Since it was already the exit song at our wedding, at least it'd keep the theme going.)

I've already told my husband I better have a halloween themed party with the Monster Mash, Siouxie and the Banshees and The Cure or to not bother.

No lie: I have an entire playlist on my computer my daughter will be required to put together. Among them, Transcendental Blues, by Steve Earle. Sounds like Revolver-era Beatles.
