    Hey Yahh! by Andre3000 (I think that's the title and artist. Love that video.

    Why?

    Cos I told my teenage kids at the time that I wanted that played at my funeral and that cracked them up.

    If I died in a Plane Crash, then 'Leaving on a Jet Plane'

    If natural death,

    Puff Daddy's 'Come with me'

    If I am unfortunate and have a violent death: Sophie Ellis Bextor - Murder on the dance floor.
    For all the closet necrophiliacs: Neiked - Sexual.

    Then to really creep people out I would finish with the singing nun known as Soeur Sourire -Dominique. The song from the asylum in series 2 of American Horror Story.

    In reality it is likely to be some hymns in the church...

    And the line, "suicide is painless"? Charming! :)

    You want to be joined by loved ones in the hereafter shortly thereafter?

    This would do for me. Not very up beat but funerals aren't upbeat anyway i suppose.

    Don't you worry 'bout a thing by Stevie Wonder.

    My reasons being:

    1) He's my favourite artist, everyone knows he's my favourite artist and it would make people smile.

    2) It's an uplifting tune and might lighten the mood.

    3) The song is telling you not to worry which is what I'd like to tell people at my funeral.
