    I told my mom that if anything happens to me, to be sure they play "Daydream Believer" by the Monkees. I want to give the people a moment of WTF?, and then leave them laughing. Anyone who would mourn me know that is totally me.

    No idea.....

    But Blaze of Glory, Another One Bites the Dust, and Leaving on a Jetplane sound good to me.
    Carry On My Wayward Son is one of my favorite songs, though. So I might just have that one play.

    I also think I want to be cremated. :smile: Haven't quite decided on that one though.


    I forgot to add that I may also play "Highway to Hell". AC/DC is awesome. :glasses:

    I just went to a funeral yesterday....

    Can't help but think of it then.

    It would be, and in this general order....

    With stories from friends/family in between...

    Like someone earlier said "My Way" By Old Blue Eyes.

    "Beam Me Up"- Pink

    "Guest List" - Sol Driven Train

    "Last Place that Love Lives" - The Black Crowes

    "One More Day" - Sol Driven Train

    then I feel I need one more song that's basically a I leave behind no regrets kind of song...

    Come On Up to the House by Tom Waits. It's beautiful and not too melancholy. I have said that I wanted that song played at my funeral from the first time I heard it.

    I don't know if I would ask to have this played at my funeral because I'm a bit too humble to think so highly of myself, but I think Muse's Guiding Light would make an excellent funeral song. It's just beautiful!

    Well I know one thing for sure, it's going to be Green Day. If I want to go down the jokey route, it's going to be Haha You're Dead. If I want something more appropriate, it's going to be Wake Me Up When September Ends.

    "The Parting Glass" by the High Kings.

    However, I actually have a separate plan in the event I'm killed in the line of duty (I'm an Air Force equivalent of a Military Police officer). So, if I die in the line of duty, I want to play Bob Dylan's "Knocking on Heaven's Door" (in addition to "The Parting Glass".)

    Here is my burial (spreading of my ashes) play list
    Celtic Bagpipe Music - Sgt. Mackenzie
    RHPS-Time Warp

    And apparently, since my kids love me so much, I will be hearing "Its a Small world" for all eternity due to them dropping some of my ashes on the ride at Disneyland! God I hate that ride LMAO!

    My cousin and I talk about this often and both agree that it would be I Will Remember You by Sarah McLaughlin. It's actually the only song I like by her....but so fitting!

    "In My Life" by the Beatles (or Ozzy, I'm not picky, I like both versions)

    Make sure you know the meaning behind the song you pick - my dad chose "Cats in the Cradle" for my grandpa's funeral because he thought it was a cute story about a father and son. He didn't listen to what it's really about (his relationship with his dad was NOT AT ALL similar to the story in that song!) He followed it with "My Hero" by the Foo Fighters, which was much more appropriate :]
