What do you want played at your funeral?

I finally found out the name of an obscure piece of music by Bach:
[url=http://pasyuk.chat.ru/ichruf.mid]Choral prelude in F minor (BWV 639)
Bach Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ Das Orgelbüchlein[/url]
(Click on the link to download the midi file. Play it using WinAmp or whatever.)
I want this played at my funeral.
Or at my wedding.
I can't decide.

There's actually a list of music that I picked out when I was 13 to be played at my funeral. I did it when I got my funeral arrangements planned.

Nothing... My wish is that my body be cast into beautiful woods that resemble something of what the elves would live in.

I can only think of two songs so far.

1. "Goodbye to Romance" by Ozzy Osbourne. Frankly I don't why this isn't a more popular request. For me it presents a perfect remorse over the end of life.

2. "Rocky Horror Picture show (Reprise)" to me it's also sounded like the end of something that doesn't need to end.

3. Tentaive...."Trying to Get to Heaven" Bob Dylan...I would really like it played but it's so much of a downer.

In My Life - Beatles

Well, I'd vote for strip poker, but since I can't play... you guys are out of luck...

As for music... how about "Pretend Were Dead" by L7 ?? :twisted:

followed by "closer (further away)" by nin...

when i was in high school, a friend of mine was killed in a car accident. they played freebird at his funeral, that and don't cry by g&r.

There is only one song that needs to be played at my funeral:

Alphaville - "Forever Young"

Let's dance in style,
Let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait,
We're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best
But expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power
But we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit,
Life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men
Can you imagine when this race is won?
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders,
We're getting in tune
The music's played by the madmen

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever - and ever

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever young

Some are like water
Some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later, they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We'll let them come true

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever - and ever

Some song that I hate, with hopes of trying to resurrect me. If it don't work after about to songs, play..."False Love" by Codeine Coma

i had an ex tell me he wanted to play, "unforgiven", by metallica at his funeral.
that was the hardest i have laughed in a long, long time.

I don't know if I want people dancing at my funeral. I think I'd rather them cough and make akward silences.... Cause I think that's funny.

Fuck me I'm tired.
