What song(s) do you want played at your funeral?

“A Tout Le Monde” by Megadeth. Good question @noelleptc :)

The guitar instrumental “St. Louis Tickle,” played by Dave Van Ronk. There should also be some terrific classical pieces that I haven’t decided on yet, but if you’re planning my funeral on short notice, just put “St. Louis Tickle” on a loop and you’re good.

Slayer – God Hates Us All.

- anything off of Surfa Rosa, Pixies
– anything off of The Moon and Antarctica, Modest Mouse
– anything by Neutral Milk Hotel
– anything off of Land of Rape and Honey, Ministry
– Black Monk Theme, The Fall

(actually, this is just stuff I am in the mood for now.)

System of A Down- ATWA, Aerials, Psycho, Chop Suey, etc. etc.

“The Voyage” during the procession for the intrumental, and “When You’re A Free Man”, both by The Moody Blues, while my ashes are being spread.

Another One Bites the Dust- Queen.
I’ve had that picked out since I was 11.
And of course the song that was played at my grandma’s funeral, Let It Be- The Beatles.

Although subjecting my survivors to an hour of my favorite tunes would be a delightful form of posthumous revenge, I’d be posthumously happy if all they played was Who Wants to Live Forever?, by Queen. ;-)

Jesse Colin Young – Grey Day and Light Shine

Aces High by Iron Maiden

I will not have a funeral. Unnecessary costs.

Off the top of my head: Pavanne for a Dead Princess; Sunken Cathedral; the final trio and then duet from Rosencavalier. You know what? I’d better get down to business and make that list while I still have at least half my wits about me. I don’t want a funeral in the first place, but there can’t be any kind of party, memorial, or whatever without music. And there is so much music I love. I’ll put it on my todo list.

Wishful thinking!

I have a funeral mix in iTunes:
Let the Mystery Be – Iris Dement
Through The Dark – KT Tunstall
Vaporize – Broken Bells
When My Time Comes – Dawes
Tired of This Life – Dawn Landes
Devil Knows Your Dead – Delta Spirit
Waiting – The Devlins
I Died So I Could Haunt You – Stars
End of the Movie – Cake

My dad has demanded we play Fat Bottomed Girls at his.

Falling by Kate Rusby

If Klaus Nomi doesn’t play when I’m dead, Imma come back and haunt existence itself.

Dirt in the Ground, by Tom Waits

Anything perky!

The other night I watched a wonderful 2007 documentary about Pete Seeger, who is truly one of my heroes. It ended with his song ‘To My Old Brown Earth.’ I think that would be a great choice.

Wow, great songs. And unique also!

I got your message
The reason I didn’t see your choices is it wasn’t in with your question, it was in with answers.
Yes, I had read them but didn’t see it was you in the answer column. Kinda illogical if you ask me…

;-)

Thanx for answering me Luv!

Peace

@BeckyKytty, was that meant to be a private message (PM) to someone?

I don’t want any songs played other than some random instrumentals. I’ve been with far too many friends who cannot listen to a song now without crying because they had someone who had that song at their funeral. I wouldn’t like that to happen because of me.
