    I'll let the people arranging the funeral,pick songs. I don't really care. Heck, I want to donate my body to a body farm. They can songs "the worms go in, the worms go out, the worms play pinochle on her snout" for all I care. But my friends and family would probably like a prettier song. So they can pick one,
    Sounds a bit like me. I don't care - I shall be dead. The funeral's not for me, anyway, it's for whoever is left and cares. I shall have no further use for this body; if anyone can use bits of it, great, if not, just get my nutrients back into circulation.

    Big bottoms definitely brings strong feelings to my mind. I couldn't agree more.

    'Big Bottom, talk about bum cakes my girl's got 'em'.... it's poetry. Pure poetry.

    I don't want a funeral. I want a party on the beach in the Keys where my family presently goes camping and where my best friend/uncle is already. I want them to scatter my ashes at sundown, and I want them to fish all night and camp out afterward. So, I want a LOT of songs played.

    Definitely (because they would remind anyone of me who ever knew me, not for lyrics so much):

    Underground by Kimya Dawson
    Mambo Italiano by Rosemary Clooney
    African Herbsman by Bob Marley
    And It Stoned Me by Van Morrison

    Lots and lots of Tom Petty, Bob Marley, and Stevie Wonder.

    I have no idea... kind weird to think about. However, my husband's aunt just passed away last Saturday at age 56 after a 2 1/2 year battle with cancer. Because she knew she was dying she had the chance to plan out her funeral in great detail. I know she planned on having "It's My Life" by Bon Jovi played. She loved Bon Jovi. I love that song, and now I'll probably always think of her everytime I hear it.

    I'm still trying to decide between traditional and what I really like. I did a funeral pre-plan a few years back. I thought I was going to get the okay to have gastric bypass surgery. (Dodged that bullet) In the funeral pre-plan I asked for On Eagles Wings. But if I really sat and thought about it...Somewhere Over the Rainbow is what I'd really like. But since I am here losing weight, getting fit, and tryng to avoid a heart attack or stroke I feel like I may have awhile longer to really plan it out. But ya got me thinkin' :)

    I heard mine come on my music system today (it's on shuffle so don't hear it too often) Free Spirit by Marc et Claude.
    It's not really appropriate but I like and want it played at the crematorium. :tongue:

    And Amazing Grace. Seems cliche'-ish but it has come to have great meaning to me.
