I know this sounds morbid...but has anyone seriously thought of this?

When I go out the back door I want to go with the music of lynyrd Skynyrd...Free Bird!

There are just so many good songs to use, choosing is hard. Something fun and enjoyable, and I want everyone to celebrate my life, not feel sad and unhappy. I live now to enjoy my life, and want my kids to know that I enjoyed my time here. esp when I ride......

I haven't thought that far ahead as I don't plan to die for at least another 50 years. It's scary to think what the world will be like then.

It has the same chords as Cecilia. I can play that too, should Mrs Tank wish. And Joline, for a bit of irony.

I want the album Powerslave played in its entirety, It needs to be loud and on a sweeeeeeet set of killer ass-raping speakers. and while its on all talking is forbidden, Everyone is to get the chance to hear what I heard all those years ago.

And if they don't get it,well fuck em, I'm dead and they just listened to the greatest metal album of all time to mark the occasion, That will have to do.

Also, I want to be burned on a Pyre (with my bike) in the middle of the road, or on a hill somewhere.

A little off topic,but I do like Spike Milligan's epitaph:

"Duirt mé leat go raibh mé breoite", Irish for "I told you I was ill."

I had Clapton No tears in Heaven played at my husbands funeral. But maybe I'd like Tracey Chapman 'She's got her ticket'
Spoke such volumes to me over the years that I'm getting a tat based on the song in a couple of weeks.

We've had this thread before. My answer hasn't changed. The hymn 'Jerusalem' (just because I like it) and then as I'm carried out 'Always look on the bright side of life'. My family has been instructed accordingly.

Rather like'One Tree Hill' by U2, but as I don't expect to be there leave that choice to wife & kids. More importantly like to think drinks will be served afterwards.

I am pretty sure I wouldn't care... at all.

But I'd expect that only people with a decent taste in music would attend. As such I'd be happy to leave it in their capable hands.

A month before my daughter died she played me 'invincible' by Five and said she wanted it at her funeral. I laughed it off and said it would out of date when she was an old lady. We played that, plus a song by Westlife and 'Good Bye My friend' from the Spice girls

Watched a movie the otherday...bit of a chick flick....with her who likes these sorts of movies....

The scene was at the wake of an irish guyin a bar in New York....Friends and family all around...preacher says some last words then hits the play button.....The Pogues singing Kristy McCols "Fairy tale of New York"...Then the whisky shooters start....

I thought that was a good way to go out.

Start with, im on a highway to hell from acdc as everyone is coming in to seat. ( was also thinking of having an open casket on a lean, facing crowd, with a hydrolic ram attacted to my chin making my mouth move with the words )

Ending with some poor sods lugging my fat ass out to the hurst with the song "See you in hell - grim reaper".

Would be the coolest funeral ever.
