1) O God, Our Help in Ages Past
2) Immortal, Invisible God only wise In both cases the words are very relevant and the music seems very fitting.

I find this subject quite ghoulish, quite honestly I care very little what music is played after I'm gone. It won't make me feel any better because I'll be dead. For all I care they can sing rude songs and call me names if anybody bothers to turn up. Anyway my son says he will save money by putting me in a black bin bag and leaving me outside the local tip.
On the other side of the coin... As someone who is about to get married again I would welcome ideas for something triumphal to walk out to, nothing religious (it is a civil ceremony) and preferably not classical, definitely not country and no heavy metal. All my suggestions so far have almost caused a divorce before the marriage and as I want to have some input into the musicality of the day I have tit for tat vetoed her choices. So any help would be appreciated. [edited by: Old_Honky at 6:00 pm (utc) on July 31, 2006]

I love too many songs to choose just one. I don't plan to have a funeral, just a memorial. And not really a traditional memorial but more like a get together where people can listen to music and eat. My two favorite things in life.

I don't care. I'll be dead. I'd just as soon they didn't have a funeral for me. I never really liked the idea. I'd rather people did something fun instead and got on with their lives. The husband of a friend just got diagnosed with an inoperable tumor and has weeks to live. It's really changed my perspective on life - less sweating the small stuff, etc.

I wanna fly out
Over Mulholland
I'm gonna write your
Name in the sky
I'm gonna free fall
out into nothin'
I'm gonna leave this
World for a while . . . . And if my wife survives me, I'd request Birds: Lover
There will be another one
Who'll hover
Over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow
See the things that will not come
Today
When you see me fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go . . .

I don't know about anyone else, but if I heard anything at all during my funeral, I'd be less interested in the music and more interested in hollering loud enough that someone would let me out of the coffin! Scary thought...

Well, I know what KIND of funeral [epica-awards.org] I'd like to have. Fast, funny, and then on to the next thing, fits me perfectly. Until today I thought this clip was an advert for a high speed internet company as the copy I had cut off right before the end. Never fails to make me guffaw. For music, just play one of my Tom Lehrer albums; let's leave 'em laughing! :)

Anything by Leonard Cohen would be appropriate - sorta depressing and sombre.

Anything that can be played loud enough to wake the dead! --
Into the Mystic sounds like a great one. Without putting too much thinking into it:
Cold Cold Ground (Tom Waits)
He Went to Paris (Jimmy Buffet)
Try to Remember (from The Fantastyks)
One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer (George Thorogood)
Summertime (from Porgy and Bess) My dad requested "When the Saints Go Marching In" and that seemed like a good one too.

A service in a big church(I don't go to church), all my fans and family. My coffin in the center aisle on top of it a dance floor about 8 feet square. A Flamenco dancer dressed in red and black and a spanish guitar raging. I giant barbeque afterwards. Then I want to be pulled out and taxidermied in the Flamenco outfit with a hidious grin and pose and given to my niece. She will inherit my fortune and get a check every year only as long as I am visible in the foyer of study of her house.

"Everybody Have Fun Tonight" by Wang Chung,
"Baby don't forget my number" by Milli Vanilli,
"U Cant Touch This" by MC Hammer,
and the clincher:
"I Just Died in your Arms Tonight" by Cutting Crew my goal being merely to annoy everyone who attends my funeral as a parting gesture of animosity
