What is YOUR funeral song?

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. 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:

Think of Laura by Christopher Cross. Will also be creamted. Bugs eating me.....YUCK!

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!

"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!

Mexico Lindo y Querido - performed by a fully staffed mariachi band.

"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 :]

Crossroads - Bone Thugs N Harmony

A Whole New World - Aladdin

Take Me to the King - Tamala Mann

Get Up - Ciara

Amazing Journey - The Who and Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd

Two of my favorite groups!!:smokin:

Wake me up before you go-go.

Husband and I have talked about this at length. At our ages, after 25 years of happy marriage, we plan these things and have made sure our son and the rest of our family know for sure what we want. We both plan to have as much of our remains used to help the living as possible and then cremate what is left. We both want a party "wake" rather than a sad service and at that party we each have 1 particular song that MUST be played.

Husband: Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who
Me: Truckin - The Grateful Dead (my favorite line.....What a long strange trip it's been)

And at my wake, everyone must wear something purple.....just cause I love purple and want to have one last thing I control before I'm left to memory ;-)

'Drop it like it's hot' ... as they lower me into the hole.

Crossroads - Bone Thugs N Harmony

The Crossroads or Tha Crossroads? These were two completely different versions and one was substantially better than the other.
