Funeral Song

Sliver · 13 Nov 2013 at 12:24

Basically, what song would you like played at your funeral ? As an atheist, I have instructed my loved ones that I would like a secular funeral. The song I've picked is Imagine by John Lennon. I'm not terminally ill or anything, I'm just planning ahead.

So, what song would you pick ?

a really heavy d'n'b track, because that's what everyone associates with me because i listen to it all the time

Same here.

I want to hire a ventriloquist to throw their voice and shout "Help Help let me out" coming from the coffin halfway through the service.

GnR - November Rain.

I want to be cremated, and for them to start the coffin moving behind the curtain at point 7:09 of the song

Country Practice by Dubversion should cover you.

I kind of like Ave Maria (sp?) myself.

i said heavy, not comically atrocious

I don't want a funeral, harvest my organs then fly tip me in an area of outstanding natural beauty.

Or just grind my meat up and feed me to pigs.

The very concept that a body is anything more than meat is absurd, anything which once made that mass human is gone.

I was thinking either something to get everyone sobbing, like this:

Or something ridiculous like this:

Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer - probably my favourite hymn, and boy will I need redeeming when I'm dead.
