What song would you have at your funeral?

[Lifepolicy]

A bit morbid I know, sorry!
have you given this much thought? I know it sometimes pops into my head when I hear a song that moves me.

mine would be Blessings, by Hollow Coves. I think joyful and mellow. i love the lyrics

what’s yours?!
funny / sad / uplifting / depressing / dance anthem?

This is outing for anyone who knows me but Last Christmas, no matter the time of year!!🤣

Send me on my way by rusted root, I love that song.

Also I’m waiting for you by Johnny Flynn.

Loving these songs! I’ve made myself a new playlist and I’m going to make my way through them as I haven’t heard of half of the songs mentioned.

i recently planned everything for my dads funeral. It was a cathartic experience but also quite stressful choosing the songs and getting the eulogy right. I hope I did him proud.

i would definitely like to give my DH an idea of what I’d like, but it would be totally up to him in the end.

I want to go out to Copacabana as it reminds me of a very happy period of my life (yes I know I won't be there to enjoy it!)

My Nan had 'Is this the way to Amarillo?' 😂

The Circle Game, Joni Mitchell and Going Underground, the Jam

Gangsters Paradise as people walk in. You'll never walk alone at end.

Row On, the Ninebarrow version.

Read my Name - Chris DeBurgh

Thunderstruck AC/DC
Don't Fear The Reaper Blue Oyster Cult

If there is no air guitar or air drummimg, they are being haunted. Appropriate rock dress code.

Grave Digger Dave Matthews Band for a sombre end.

Please could I come to your funeral?

Born to be Wild.

I would like to disappear into the incinerator to the lone ranger theme tune.

Hi oh silver away, and I am off to the next world. Hopefully.

I literally only have one rule for my funeral.

NO FUCKING COLDPLAY

I'm so having Eulogy at mine too. Can't say it any better than Frank. At least I fucking tried. Indeed.

Be Still, My Soul.

My favourite song at all times, but there are no better songs for a funeral!

There won't be a dry eye in the room.

I agree with this to an extent.

My aunt planned her own funeral down to the food and drink. She choose a song that she and her husband loved as one of the music pieces and he can no longer listen to it.

I have a document that has basics in it so that whoever is organising my funeral isn’t constantly wondering what I would want. So not fussed about cremation or burial, be as small or large as you like, and then a list of 10/15 songs that I particularly like (with the reasons where applicable).

If I was organising my own I’d have When it’s Time by Greenday

The Liquidator by Harry J Allstars.
I’m from a footballing family and this music is very recognisable to a lot of football fans and would bring a smile to faces. Hopefully no one would do the rude chant! 😂

I can see clearly now by Johnny Cash.

A friend of mine had “What a Wonderful World” played at her memorial service. It was lovely and very in character.

My Mum chose in my life by the Beatles t for her funeral. I think I'd like the same. And under the bridge by the red hot chilli peppers.

My husband has chosen “Happy Trails to You”.

From the days when a performer on stage could wear an actual flaming headdress 😀

I used to be a florist, and remember a young family coming in whose mum had died of cancer. They were taking great care and pride in following her instructions. It stayed with me.
