I really don’t care about my funeral or burial at all. I won’t be there. It is for the survivors to plan. That being said, I do love the song Outward Bound Tom Paxton and have thought it would be a lovely funeral song.

@janbb – That is true, it will be in the hands of the survivors.
I’d be paying close attention to the musical tastes of those people.

I’d like this or this in the event of a cremation.

A live band sounds like a hoot! I want my funeral to be a happy affair, where there’s stories I’ve told, things they’ve learned, and laughter of times they spent with me!

That is like others have said it’s up to the survivors, myself if I have any say would rather people not have a funeral, but a celebration of life, I would prefer any family and friends get together and remember the good times, not crying over that I am gone.

@SQUEEKY2 -I suppose it would be up to the survivors whether or not not they wanted to honor the wishes of their loved one.
I want to be cremated.I’m pretty sure that will happen if my body’s available

This is going to be my funeral jam.

@Demosthenes -That also works for wedding marches

I have no intention of dying, it wouldn’t dare happen to me.

A pre-recorded tune would be fine.

But if I have the means like a billionaire…all the sopranos and tenors in the world singing “My Sharona.”

@mazingerz88 -That’s an excellent choice!

@lucillelucillelucille My ipad won’t let me open that, but that’s okay, I pretty much know what it is!

@ucme -Here, I’ll hum it for you: Hmm hmmm hmmmhmmmmmm hm hm hmhm hmhmmmmmmm -hm

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille Yep, thought so, that was a beautiful rendition by the way.
You should record that in a studio & have it released.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@ucme -Released into outer space?

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille My god, but there’s a uranus joke in there, but I like you too much to go there :D

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille No reason to, why on earth would you?

cookieman's avatar

Neither. I want kazoos handed out at the door and expect a spontaneous kazoo cacophony every time someone tries to say something to nice about me.
