Ok, so either you get cremated, buried, or have a good old fashion viking funeral, what songs would you want played at your funeral?

Everyone will eventually die, and when I do go, I want the first song to be played to be "another one bites the dust" by Queen.

Why? Why not, I figure most people will be sad, and when that song comes on, I doubt there will be one person that will not laugh or smile, and think about the good times shared with me, rather than the fact that I am no long with them in the flesh.

sorry if it is kind of morbid but there are other songs I want played too, and I know I can not be the only person who thinks of this from time to time.

It'd be all upbeat gospel church songs and then at the end "Everlong" followed by "My Hero" by Foo Fighters. But i want my 3 best friends to play it live. Since i'll be dead i can't play the drums anymore lol so i'll set them up with someone to take my place before i check out. It'll be rad cuz i know those fools will rock the house.

I'm not a very religious person, but I do believe in God, heaven and hell. No matter how logically I think about how it doesnt make sense, I can never bring myself to thinking we're on this planet out of some fluke. But at my funeral, hopefully not any time soon, these are the songs I'd like to have played.

tears in heaven- eric clapton

Ave Maria

Amazing Grace

and last but certainly not least, Angel by Jimi Hendrix

Ive had the "always look on the bright side of life" song in my head and I have not been able to shake it, ive been whistling it while I am working, while im driving, while I am in the shower. It is weird, how a song can lift your spirits, or make you feel better.

You know what's funny... Alot of people joke about this but I actually think about it alot.
I know for sure I'm going to have my best friend play a song by Ignite called Live For Better Days. If possible, I'd like to have someone arrange for the band to come out and play it themselves if possible. But that's my first choice...

Also, if I knew my time was coming soon, I'd do this before hand...
Record myself sitting in a chair quietly... just sitting and looking around. Everyonce in a while have a surprised look and wave toward the back of the camera. Record for about an hour or 2. Then I'd have someone play it in a constant loop on a projector at my funeral... haha.

I feel you that this is not a joke thread, it may be something to make light of a bad situation, but I think about this alot. Like for example , Yesterday Im eating dinner at a restaurant and Frank Sinatra's "I did it my way" . I would definatly have this song played at my funeral.
