Songs at your funeral?

[Gothenburg83]

I have a very long list but I decided to go for these songs for a various of reasons....What about you?

Like to have songs that all my pals/family would know/like

MGMT - Kids

Chemical Brothers - Another World

Fenech-Soler - Stop and Stare

Justice - D.A.N.C.E.

Chase and Status - Blind Faith

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

I have just the one, to be played at the end of the service. It's the Cocteau Twins cover version of Song to the Siren.

[Kyelo]

I'm 24 and the thought has never crossed my mind

My father wants Shine On You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd though. I told him he is either getting the cut down version or it played as background music...25+ minutes! haha

Daft Punk - One More Time

[feral chile]

Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper

Chris de Burgh - Spanish Train

AC/DC - Highway to Hell

[t8yman]

Always has been- the great gig in the sky.

A friend of mine chose "Teach Your Children" by Crosby Stills and Nash for his when he knew that he didn't have long to go with cancer. It summed up his philosophy so well, "Feed them on your dreams..,."

[Steve P]

Circus is leaving town - Mark Lanegan and Isobelle Campbell

[fred quimby]

Elvis - Return to sender (always good for a giggle at a funeral)

if cremated then maybe Arthur Brown - Fire or just a prerecording of me screaming and shouiting "let me out"

possibly lamb - gorecki

[Chiefski]

The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize??

Bob Dylan - Forever Young

Bob Marley - Three Little Birds

start off sad, end with a happy note

[rexclark]

Suede - The Wild Ones

Lynard Skynard - Freebird

[lost]

[The Nal]

Got to be Angels by Robbie Will.....

Only joking.

A Fistful of Dollars by Ennio Morricone. Has to be when I'm being lowered into the ground.

1 min 30. Bad. Ass.

Shake 'Em On Down by Bukka White

And finally, Rest His Soul by William Elliot Whitmore. A beautiful piece of music by a fucking criminally under appreciated musician.

I've had a further think about this and would quite like Motorhead's The Ace of Spades played as the coffin is brought into the church. Just to wake everybody up and keep them alert fearing what's coming next. I want people to pay attention at my funeral because I'll not be able to!

[grumpyhack]

I suppose we've got to live in hope that when we die....

[Ed209]

Make sure there's giant foam hands on everyone's seat before the funeral starts

[russycarps]

no pussy blues - grinderman

[metallimuse]

I quite like the idea of this and my dad has told me he wants this.Ever since he told me that the song has lost all it's chest beating,devil horn throwing passion...the bastard.
