Probably , though there is a reason behind each song and the order. Allways look on the bright side of life is funny and I would love people to laugh, funerals can be too depressing...the second song is purely funny, especially the end but anyone who really knows me would relate to how much it means to me...the third song, well, that also has had a big influence on me (have dated two "Heathcliffs" in my time) and finally Silence ends with "I am free", which is very apt for a funeral...hey, I think too much sometimes.

Kingp35

Now we are Free - Hans Zimmer & Lisa Gerrard

Great song but that one always has me in floods of tears whenever I hear it, apt though and a good choice.

none right up until the coffin gets wheel out and then it will be the
birdy song.

danniemcq

Munky if you read this you better not have forgotten what i told you!

Christ that's possibly the funniest thing I've seen on boards in months. You owe me a new keyboard Mister!

I'd go with a selection of Kevin Bloody Wilson personally.

funky penguin

Another One Bites the Dust by Queen, or I Will Come Back by the Foo Fighters.

fade2black

This is mine....


To be played as the coffin is being carried down the aisle.

I'm not so much a morbid person, more a music obsessive.

So close to what I chose.

arbeitsscheuer

We're All Going on A Summer Holiday - Cliff Richard

Then the Phantom of the Opera song.

Should have em rolling about in the aisles, eh?

Ickle Magoo

I would like to be cremated & I'd like these songs played.....
Angels - Robbie Williams
Ride a White Swan - T-Rex
Knockin' on Heavens Door - G'n'R

Binka

Funeral for a Friend(Love Lies Bleeding) - Elton John

YeatsCounty

I'd have to choose "Now You're a Man" from 'Orgazmo' as my coffin is leaving the church, followed by the classic Sunday Game theme as I enter the cold damp earth.

Gotta keep in character until the very end.

We just have great choice in music!

Chinafoot

Make me smile (come up and see me) by Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel

and

If I should fall behind - Bruce Springsteen

(I also want the latter to be my first dance at my wedding. 'Tis beautiful for either)

This is true...I'd start an off topic conversation about movie soundtracks...but i'll be nice.

Put "honor him" on at full blast sometime...it really is an amazing theme.

Angels was sung at my cousin's funeral a few years back, it was beautiful.

I'd have to say Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton, Lullabye (Goodnight my Angel) by Billy Joel or My Heart Belongs to Daddy, Ella Fitzgerald.

Everything on that album is movie soundtrack gold. He's an amazing composer.

He's also doing The Da Vinci Code soundtrack. Should be interesting to see what he comes up with.

Sorry for the off topicness.

Rhyme

Highway to Hell...

Nothing more, nothing less

Dirk Gently

The monster mash and do the Dudek.
It would also be a non-religious event.

R0ot

2 songs

Soul Asylum - Can't Even Tell (Clerks Soundtrack the credits theme)
The Eagles/Kansas - Dust in the Wind (Both versions are great, but has to be acoustic guitar only)

Ah yes...there's a reason why you're in my friends list.

Santa Claus

Green Day - Time of your life (or good riddance to give its proper title though I wouldn't want people thinking good riddance)

Crucifix

The Mariner's Revenge song by the Decemberists

rainbow kirby

Non-religious event for me!
I'd start with Tenacious D - Tribute, then into Sonata Arctica - The Cage, followed by The Time Warp from the Rocky Horror Picture Show (I just love the thought of a whole funeral's worth of people doing the time warp), and leaving with Helloween - I Want Out.

funk-you

I want six of my mates to wear orange jump suits while carrying my coffin into the church while The Beatie Boys - Satotage is playing.

When i'm being put in the ground - Wilson Picket - Land of 1000 dances.

-Funk

p~b

the shins - caring is creepy
frou frou - let go

BOOYA!

dead air

Actually I don't know, I've never really considered having music at my funeral, not that i've ever really thought about it. Maybe some quieter smashing pumpkins playing in the background. I don't think there's any one song that could sum me up. Creep by Radiohead maybe.

Nightwish

Beauty of the Beast by Nightwish

Ruu_Old

Quality thread I forgot The Clash-Should I Stay Or Should I Go

The Gnome

I'm afraid it has to be Supermoves by Overseer followed by Magic Dance by David Bowie and Overture to the Sun to finish.

Stench Blossoms

Sia - Breathe Me

peckerhead

A little bit of Cash...
