    Funeral Song

    Would you play songs at your funeral that even make people cry by just listening to them or are you the kind of person who wants to go out with a blast? It could be theme song from the Titanic or pehaps you would prefer the Banana Boat Song by Harry Belafonte to make everyone shed a tear but with a smile on their face, remembering the good old times.

    What would you play at your funeral? :mog:

    my sister played Angel by Sarah McLachlin at my nephew's funeral.

    I'd probably take a page out of the book Cold, Sassy Tree and have them sing select verses from Blest Be the Tie That Binds a la [major character].

    At my funeral there shall be nothing but Death Metal. I just want whoever's running the event to say "And now a moment silence as we play the deceased's favourite song" before Hammer Smashed Face starts belting out.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    I also would prefer to not have a funeral, at least nothing so structured that they play a specific song or track list for me. If people feel it's necessary to remember me, they can have a party.

    I would want happy music to be playing. Or something. I wouldn't want my loved ones to cry. I'd want them to be happy even if I'm gone.

    Song called Hallow by Pantera. I think I would like that song.

    Or maybe Trenchtown Rock covered by Sublime.
    Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again! I hardly knew I should use me feet again!

    What do you have to say for yourself?

    If I had them play Tears In Heaven, do you think anyone would throw themselves on my grave?

    Megadeth's A Tout Le Monde, maybe.

    There's Apocalyptica's Farewell too. Just perfect for the last moments in my funeral

    Untitled 1 by Sigur Ros
    Motion Picture Soundtrack by Radiohead
    Nightswimming by R.E.M.

    Any of those would do for my funeral. They're all beautiful songs.
