What song would you play at your funeral? Would it be something that will anooy everyone or would it be something that makes everyone want to dance and rejoice? Its up to you
Mine would be

Mine would be "Ah Ah Ah Ah stayin' alive stayin' alive."

Do they play songs at funerals? At my grampies funeral a non immediate relative played the bagpipes while people were leaving the church. I thought that was kind of nice. I don’t know what song but I would have it played on the bagpipes.

I think I'd like to go out in the same fashion as FDR and JFK, with Samuel Barber's harrowing piece "Adagio for Strings." Those who have seen the movie Platoon will recognize it as the main theme. The music cries pure devastation, it is truly one of the great works of the past century.

I would like some nice music at my funeral. Everyone will have to die one day, so why not make your death a joyous one?

Probably some cool music, no sad ones. I don't want people crying at my funeral.

My death should not hurt anyone...

Mine should

Haha, just kidding. Yeah, I guess I would rather have my family and friends feel on the more chipper side with me gone. I don't know, I just love that song. Maybe Rammstein's "Du Hast" would be more fitting? Haha. And of course, the reception always has some wonderful eats, so any hard feelings will be swept away in the sugary wonderland of post-funeral cakes and goodies.

Geez, I feel sick, now...

I'd want some old school punk rock! They were for freedom, change, and individuality--having fun while doing whatever you want, and standing up for what YOU believe in. Not your fols or yoiur friends beliefs, but yours. I completely agree with that. Plus it was fun music. I want my last party on earth to rock!

lolz. me and my friend had a discussion like this before when we saw people going to the cemetery and heard their funeral song. Today, things change, and when my gradma had her funeral... i heard the funeral car playing "one sweet day" (by mariah carey and boyz II men.

Going back to my me and my friend's discussion... i said, when i die, the music thatll be played would be Hot in here (nelly).. lolz then weird, after a while hot in herre was played on the radio... lolz...

anyways, i dunno what song... something happy... or motivating for the people i left... Crossroads by BTNH would be nice!!! =) and Stella's song!

I would play Geri Halliwell's It's Raining Men. It would brighten everyone up, depending on whether they see the men as happy living or dead corpses!!!

I'd like to have Stairway to Heaven (led zeppelin) played at my funeral. Even if it does have hidden satanic messages in it. LOL. Its a beautiful song.

Hugs,

Mad World - Gary Jules,

Let's face it, everyone is sad at funerals, sad people like to listen to sad music, no one will like to some kinda disco song at a funeral. ¬_¬ anyway, that song makes people feel slightly sad as it is.

Of course, my funeral will just be me being put into a box and burried by some gardener..
