So you're dead

[Balloonhearts]

So you're sadly dead, you got hit by a bus, which was unfortunately on time for a fucking change, what song would you want at your funeral?

I think I'd want Little Wonders by Rob Thomas. I like to think I'd have something really funny and inappropriate but realistically some of my family would not find that funny.

Song? As in secular song? Why? What is wrong with church hymns, like for normal people, not film stars? Even if it was a LIVE Elton performance, it cheapened the funeral of Diana, there is no place for secular songs at a church. Apologies if I misunderstood and it won't be at a church.

We had Nimrod for my mum’s funeral. Beautiful ❤️

I don't want a funeral. I don't think for a second that many people would come anyway and they're awful things.

Dh wants to be cremated to Elvis Burning Love 😂

I actually added Die With A Smile to my list yesterday!!

My latest is The Strawbs, Lay Down. Before that it was The Pogues, Broad Majestic Shannon. (No, I am not Irish, just so.)

November Rain, Guns'n Roses

Show must go on, Queen

Breakfast at Tiffanys, Deep Blue Something

We were able to for mum and dad's

And watch the ducks groove about 😎

Meredith Brooks. Bitch.

Seasons in the sun..

I agree.
I want the Cantique de Jean Racine or The St Patrick's Breastplate.

Bon Jovi-Blaze of Glory 😆

What is Life - George Harrison (the instrumental version)

That’s mine too but they can just play the song i don’t need a choir. Suppose as i’ll be dead i won’t actually know or care. Can’t be arsed with the haunting part lol

Direct cremation with no service for me. Waste of money and only ds nobody else.

Creep - Radiohead

Going in: Northern Skies by I Am Kloot. Going out: Danny Boy, played by Grimethorpe Colliery Band.

What so funny bout peace love and understanding performed by Elvis Costello and the Attractions.
There has never been a point in my life when this hasn't applied.
In my life The Beatles
Bridge over troubled Water

Written on the sky - max richer

Three little birds by Bob Marley x

I want to be cremated do not want to be eaten by bugs

As I come into the crem it’s a toss up between Highway to Hell and Metallica nothing else matters, or Whisky in the Jar by Thin Lizzy

As the curtains close I want Firestarter to be played 🤣

To be fair I’d be happy with a direct cremation. I’m not sure I want my family to go through the expense of a funeral..

The Last Goodbye from the Hobbit although probably won't be anyone to go anyway.

My ex went to a funeral and as they carried the coffin out of the church they played Going Underground.

I love this song too. DH wants it at his funeral. I'd have In My Life by the Beatles too.

The Show Must Go On by Queen.

“I’ll face it with a grin, I’m never giving in” damn right Freddie!

Interesting the number of people who don’t want a funeral. First of all the funeral isn’t for you (you’re dead). It’s for friends and family.

Secondly I used to say I wasn’t bothered what happened to me but I heard someone say you die twice - once when you physically die and the second time the last time someone says your name. After that I think I’d like to be buried rathe me than cremated.
