Sorry if this question is a little morbid but someday when you die what songs do you want played at your funeral? Traditional or something newer and different.
I would like:
Dust in the Wind by Kansas
Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum
If you are like me and want something a little different you aren't alone.
Adele, Frank Sinatra among top funeral songs

I don't think I'll have anything played. I don't think anyone will come to my funeral anyway.
If possible, I'd just let my actions in life speak for me at my funeral instead of a song.
I haven't heard those songs, maybe I'll give them a listen.

I haven't heard any of those. Is that a bad sign?

I don't exactly know if I do or don't
I just remembered, I won't have any songs played at my funeral, because it's not a Muslim practice. Isn't life funny?

Funeral For a Friend by Elton John
At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new.

I would prefer a repeatable melody rather than a specific song if my relatives felt the need to give me a funeral. Possibly Simone's Theme.
