The Mule Posted October 17, 2012 #26 Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) I don't get the long list of songs people have... Who is going to hang around all day at a funeral, listening to the deceased top 40 ? lol because there'll be like a two hour viewing on tuesday night, two hours wed afternoon, two hours wed evening, and then the actually funeral thursday morning. 6 plus hours of dead air to fill... ...besides....the music aint for the people hanging around...its for me!!!

On a more serious note....I was working on a song when my grandfather passed away, I wrote the lyrics the night I heard he died, and we recorded the vocals right after his funeral, without even changing clothes. I guess it too should play at my funeral http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=76575&q=hi&newref=1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth is we do not know for sure.. I want my funeral to be quick and not long winded I see no point in showering nothing but soppy long boring songs that may wind up depressing people more than they ever were... I want to be remembered as cheerful and funny.. .A quick song..have a few laughs about the funny things we all did...bury me fast, and go off and have a drink... No sitting listening to long boring songs ..crying and moping about.. it wont bring me back... I also want something funny and cheerful written on my head stone... that will make my kids / loved ones smile each time they visit my grave... if they can be bothered to visit lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of people that would show up at mine would be people just making sure I really am gone... So I want a Loooooong drawn out funeral, the more boring the better, and I hope it's raining - a lot.... But a buffet would be nice...

MissMelsWell Posted October 19, 2012 #36 Share Posted October 19, 2012 People can play whatever they want at my funeral... frankly, I won't be there to enjoy it. And if they play something I don't like, there's very little chance I'll be upset about it. LOL. Funerals are for living, not the dead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckys_Mom Posted October 19, 2012 #37 Share Posted October 19, 2012 If my husband plays Garth Brooks at my funeral... I hope there is an afterlife.. so I can haunt the living crap out of him...lol 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted October 19, 2012 #38 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I want my funeral to be FUN. Everyone will be issued with glow sticks and dance to 70's disco music....and if they don't I'll haunt them forever! I want my life celebrated not mourned 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonecrusher Posted December 16, 2012 #41 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Mr Brightside by The Killers of course.. I don't want any party songs played though. It has to be sombre and modern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashotep Posted December 19, 2012 Author #42 Share Posted December 19, 2012 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. They are old songs but good.

Ashotep Posted December 19, 2012 Author #43 Share Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) They are going to have to listen to my sad modern songs at my funeral. I wanted to be cremated but they insist on a funeral and planting me on boot hill. Afterwards everyone can go get drunk. Would you believe I had a brain fart and forgot I started this topic. Please forgive me. Edited December 19, 2012 by Hilander 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Star Posted January 5, 2013 #49 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) [media=]http://youtu.be/5eIk5DWUx_E[/media] Yet,what would be even better is if i could choreograph a ballet to it first. There are so many more songs on my funeral list. I may add them, some other time....This one however has stood out above all the others since I first heard a live performance of it at the Liverpool philharmonic. When I was about five or six.
