    From where you are- Lifehouse


    I'm assuming people will miss me or the lyrics don't really fit.

    My husband and I spoke of this not too long ago. Funerals are not for the one who has departed - they are truly a vehicle to help the grieving deal with their loss. To that end, I have given him my blessing to choose whatever songs will comfort his heart should that occasion arise. He said that there is one song that will definitely make the play list because it characterizes me in his eyes. That song is 'Hello, My Name Is' by Matthew West.

    The River by Garth Brooks. Makes me cry every time I hear it. We also played "What a Wonderful World" the old version at my brother in law's funeral.

    If I was planning on being buried, I think "Going underground" by The Jam would be suitably bad taste. However, as I plan to be cremated and lean towards Buddhism, I think Carly Simon's "Coming around again" is better.

    I've decided not to die so I won't require any musical accompaniment.

    I am being cremated. I want these played in this order. It fits how I feel and my husband thinks it is SO me. If my mother is still alive, she will probably freak but know it was all my idea. LOL

    Crazy - Gnarls Barkley
    Coming Back to Life - Pink Floyd or just David Gilmour
    Josh - Charles Littleleaf {for my husband}
    Walking with the Elders - David R. Maracle
