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.

My main musical request for my funeral is “no fucking Coldplay”.

I’d like Mother of Pearl by Roxy Music.

I want 'the whole of the moon' by the Waterboys.

What?
By a bus, before my remaining (abusive) parent died, before I claimed my inheritance and set up my own life??
I don't think about a bloody song.
Let it be Joy to the world, for what I care.
😕😖

Big Ship by Cardiacs. Just to make everyone listen to a top tune.

The ending message is beautiful '...all creations joining in, celebrating happiness and joy all around the world, on land and in the sea...'. Anthem!

The earlier verse about going to a hellish dentist might have them scratching their heads... But either way, result!

Knock on Wood? I don’t mind which version.

The only instructions I have - don't spend a stupid amount of money, Be Still for the Presence of The Lord as a hymn. Everything else is up to them.

Going in Madonna Hung up
In between - Jerusalem just because I love it
When leaving Firestarter The Prodigy

The person I would most want to haunt died a couple of years ago. I did enjoy going around singing "Ding, dong, the witch is dead", though.

Daydream believer- the monkeys
I don't wanna stop- ozzy Osborne
My funeral-dope

Exit, U2.

I want the theme tune to Animal Magic and the hymn All Things Bright and Beautiful.

Garden of forgiveness by Bros (Most of you probs dont know it! LOL)
My Immortal - Evanescence
Alice - Avril Lavigne

There is a light that never goes out by The Smiths. And if a double decker bus crashes into us.......

Now that´s the kind of bastard I wouldn´t mind coming back to haunt. He would be scared shitless.

I love In my life. Beautiful song. Also the long and winding road.

This for me Spooky men's choral version of Crossing the Bar (words below)
DH already has instructions to play this for my funeral

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;

For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar

We've had too many funerals in the last couple of years. It's much too expensive for those left behind, so I'm going with direct cremation. But there are some great songs here.

The whole funeral marches shebang like the Queen had. I will let my DH off the gun carriage and horses as don’t want to spend too much of the DC inheritance

I’m donating my body as well. I’ve told my family to play Three Little Birds by Bob Marley and the Wailers when they feel sad after my death.

I love that song and is my aim for how I wish to live my life

hm. Amazing Grace with small pipes.

„es hatten drei Gesellen“ will be sung. But that’s already fixed (without any input of me) and I am quite content with that.

I like this

Possibly also
Calon Lan
Ave Maria, Gounod
and Guide me on thou Great Redeemer at some point

easy

Wherever You Will Go - The Calling
High - Lighthouse Family

Anyway you want it by Journey 🤘

I want Highland Cathedral. My kids know this, I mention it often.
