What songs do you want played at your funeral?

[JM4CY]

Honestly, I that song at the end of the newest FF album called Rest would go so hard at a funeral.

 

[CapnCy]

"Smoke on the water" as they wheel me in

 

[1100011CS]

First of all, no funeral for me. Open bar at my favorite watering hole.

Fade to Black - Metallica
Bro Hymn - Pennywise
Nutshell - Alice in Chains
Seven Bridges Road - Eagles (favorite of my group of friends)
there are others that I can't think of right now. need to write those down.

I think it depends on cause of death and my mind at that time. I've lived a quiet life so it would be good to go out on a bang.

@Angie - It is your responsibility to make sure at least 2 of these are played.

Calm and soothing...



Too safe...

Very much the same here. I have very explicit instructions for my obit and service that are specifically silly. Life size cutout at the front, only gross Jello salads from old church ladies at the social time. The very last song on my funeral playlist is “Pony” by Ginuwine.

There is gonna be so much funeral grindin.

Interesting topic.

I am not religious, but my wife is, so I am sure if I die first, there will be a religious song added.

I want epople to not be sad that I am gone, and most likely, amny likely will. be happy (or at least relived).

Anyway......(in no particular order)

"Come Sail Away" Styx

"You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth" Meat Loaf

"Roll with the Changes" REO Speedwagon

I feel this so much, what's funny is I picked out this song when I was like 8 years old lying in bed trying to fall asleep. I tend to be in my own head a lot, haha.

You do realize though everyone is going to just assume this is background music? That would be my concern. At a funeral home just hearing this would seem like they are playing background music for people to talk .

That's good music but will make for a long service.

With shredded carrots and raisins? That's how you take a meh dish like jello and make it really gross.

If I'm picking John Prine, I'm picking this one.


I also love this song from NMH.
Play it as they release my ashes into the world.

Whomever the **** invented those so called "foods" should be severely punished. Every event growing up seemed to have some odd **** mix of jello, olives, carrots, marshmallows, or something of the sort.

Ironically, my dad called last week asking if I had one specific cookbook of his deceased mom from the Pilot Mound Methodist Church ladies club from the 70s. I said you mean the one that has every way to make a **** salad?

Not to be too grim or anything, but I am the type of person who plans major life events years or even decades in advance. I'm weird like that.

Most funerals have two or three songs played during the ceremony, and these are mine:



Tuomas Holopainen(Nighwish's keyboardist) wrote this song for his grandfather shortly after he passed away.



I want this played because I just love it, and to kind of mess with people. They would be like WTF?! My idea is don't be sad I'm gone. Live it the f*** up and f***ing party celebrating my life.

Though I do prefer the Eurobeat version myself (sadly, no screaming lyrics):



As for the third song, I haven't decided yet, but I definitely want Schala/Kid's final dairy entry at the end of this video (3:03 mark) quoted at my funeral. I don't remember it from when I played Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross back to back back in August 2002 (I just remember Kid looking over the beach after the final credits rolled), but my God does it make me bawl like a baby every time I read it back with the third verse of Radical Dreamers playing.



Like I said, this may be a bit of a grim post, but it popped in my head tonight while listening to music, and was just curious if there are any other weirdos like me "making plans" like this.

No WCW theme music
