[Closed] A morbid thread- What song for your funeral

Angels or Titanic theme

Nothing. I've made it quite clear to my friends and family that there won't be a funeral. Heck, there may not even be a body.

Temper Trap...Soldier On.

Green Day - Good Riddance.

Wreckless Eric - Final Taxi 🙁

As mrs rocket has said so many times

Nothing.

As long as I've seen my kids do well and given them a cuddle I don't care about the rest.

I am concerned about what impact the choice of Fire or Worms has in the afterlife though.

IIRC it was Spike Milligan that said his funeral was nothing to do with him, and he didn't intend to be there.

I'm with spike.

titanic theme

Just to see the look on the vicars face, oh wait...

"Who Knows Where the Time Goes" by Sandy Denny

Either that or "The Birdie Song"!

A medley of Brotherhood of Man classics.

Sympathy for the Devil - Rolling Stones or Ramble On - Led Zep.

Other than that I won't be listening so as long as its not Coldplay DILLIGAF!
(If it is then what's left of me will climb out of the coffin and beat everyone present to death with the altar candle.....)

Unchained Melody - Righteous Brothers

for my last drive to the afterlife

ha cheers Jamie

might get these guys to Angels, but to be honest I imagine they are booked solid

Killed by Death

One of them reminds me of Joey from Friends....

Paint it Black, the Rolling Stones (it's about a child's death anyway)
Don't Fear the Reaper, Blue Oyster Cult
Wish me Luck as you wave me Goodbye, Gracie Fields ?

Coffin being carried in:

People filtering out at the end:

Best answer to this question was posted on here the last time (?) this question was posted, it has to be

Obvious really

There is a dj called Ross From Friends, maybe he'd do it

https://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/rossfromfriends-uk

Guns n' Roses, November Rain, it's nine minutes long, make em' wait for their sandwiches.

And you'll never walk alone, obviously.

And

or

Death is not the end by Nick cave. Although I do like the ANWL suggestion....... 🙂

as the curtain closes.....

I can't find a song that refers to being catapulted into oblivion which leaves
The Jam

The Flaming Lips... And we're going to hand out word sheets, and every ****'s going to sing along or I'll haunt them.

Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes -
let them know you realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

And then let's play out with the Go! Team

Jethro Tull's 'We Used to Know' and Fairport Convention (Sandy Denny's version), 'Meet on the Ledge'.

Everyone in tears (if anyone turns up), job done.

C. 🙂

Josh Wink - higher state of consciousness

As the curtains open and my coffin begins to go into the furnace, I would like Disco Inferno to be played very loudly.

That or "I am the god of hellfire, and I bring you FIRE"

the atheist in me says

the satanist says

Freebird - Lynrd Skynrd please .

If you don't know me by now, Simply Red.

Band of Horses - the funeral?

If you don't know me by now, Simply Red.

Oh, that's good.

Lenny Kravitz - Are you gonna my way.

My dad chose Shine on you Crazy Diamond for his funeral music the &%$£@£%*. Now every time I play what is one of my favourite songs too, I think of him.

Already got mine picked

or maybe

Fa ta tataa...

Welcome to the jungle, maybe.
I am the resurrection, possibly.

My missus wants this playing:

We can be happy underground.

No Surprises - Radiohead. Just to lift the mood a bit.

That or Ay ay ay moosey - Modern Romance

for me... Waterboys - "Spirit" and maybe "Whole of the Moon"

for her... "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead"

'If You Don't Know Me By Now', to be played as the casket trundles away to be cremated, obviously 😉

Edit: ah, I see I was beaten to it!

Since I want to be barbecued and packed into fireworks; [url= http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/blacksabbath/intothevoid.html ]Black Sabbath - Into The Void[/url]. Because I'm a cheery **** like that. 😀

Followed by Drink to the Dead by Clutch at the wake.\m/

We've recently had my Granny's funeral - she wanted birdsong / sounds of nature - Many remarked how nice it was . .

Is I am the resurrection a little presumptious?

The Tweets?

As my coffin is carried in:The Imperial March
Halfway through: ELO Wild West Hero
Reading of Ozymandias
At the end: Closing track from Flash Gordon.

Among all the jokey replies that is genuinely lovely.

Enter Sandman, live version.

" I want to ride my Bicycle........."

I'd request Bowie's Lazarus...

...but I also want something suitably flippant that will raise a smile. Good call to the poster who suggested "Shine on you crazy diamond".

I think the Happy Mondays' Hallelujah might be in with a shout.

My wifes choice is Queen's Another one bites the dust.

Save me, by embrace.

Ideally I'd like the curtains to open, coffin move forward then reverse as "Should I Stay or Should I Go" play.

"Movin on up" by Primal Scream would be good or "This Monkey's Gone to Heaven". Failing that "Dear God" by XTC.

Among all the jokey replies that is genuinely lovely.

I entirely agree.

Although I am not joking, I genuinely intend to have Killed by Death as I go through the final curtain. So long as I go before most of my mates (the Goths and Bikers particularly) it will give them one last giggle 😉

I have in my will that Alien Sex Fiend R.I.P and smells like S**T are to be played.

I want Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac "Need your love so bad" before a Humanist reading to anyone that can be arsed to turn up.

My lad has been told in no uncertain terms, that despite what his mum says, AC/DCs Highway to Hell gets played as the curtains open.

A Design for Life - Manics. Lights to go up within 3 secs of last symbol crash.

My kids have had my specific orders for my funeral. Carried in to Stayin Alive by the Bee Gee's and Disco Inferno by the Tramps as I get shoved into the oven.

Cherish by Kool and the Gang and Drink with Me from the Les Miserables soundtrack.

"Ellan Vannin", just because I'm a Manxman and "Take Me To The Place" (Deacon Blue), because it's like "Abide With Me" but even better, and with beautiful fretless bass.
If I have a headstone anywhere, then I'd like it to have a mountain hare on one side and a raven on the other.

I've let several people know I want 'So Long, Fairwell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye' at my funeral, just in case they outlive me.

I'm going for a bit of Elvis;

Return to Sender

Why would i care? and hold the bloody candle lit vigil as well.

It has to be this
