Groove is in the heart by dee-lite.
And everyone has to do the dance like the woman in the flared catsuit.
I want a farce funeral.
If I was forced to pick something with personal resonance either love will tear us apart by joy division or Princes forever in my life. |

"Arcade Fire - Rebellion"
Sleeping is giving in, no matter what the time is...
I'd probably want AF at mine too. Possibly Wake Up...
In The Aeroplane Over The Sea or Oh Comely by Neutral Milk Hotel...
Aaaand On The Safest Ledge by Copeland. |

I want to donate my body to medical science, so hopefully there won't be a funeral.
If there is, then I want "Celebrate" to be played, not because I'm dead, but to celebrate my life.
I've been to so many funerals recently, and they're such dreary events, even my own parents ones. They should be a celebration of their lives

I Believe, Joe Satriani
I Believe, Booth and the Bad Angel
(two completely different tracks, both a bit special though!)
And like several others here, Monty Python`s Always Look on the Bright Side of Life
Been to too many funerals lately, but came out of one crying with laughter, the departed had chosen Star Trekking Across the Universe to go out to... And several of the congregation donned Spock ears |

It changes all the time. The only one I'm certain about is Atmosphere by Joy Division as I'm carried into the crematorium. I do fear sone idiot fucking up and playing the russ abbot version...
Other than that I'd quite like arsehole by Snuff but concede that that could be slightly inappropriate. So would probably go for Ruby Soho by Rancid (I also want destination unknown sprayed onto the side of my coffin) and The Wonder Stuff's Good Night Though.

Titanic theme tune, my heart will go on... Celine Dion
Adagio for strings
I've had the time of my life... Dirty dancing
Living on a prayer... Bon Jovi
I know that's 4 but the first is a definite and the other three are my kids to choose from even though knowing my kids they'd not even be able to decide without a full blown argument..... But why change a habit of a lifetime
C xx |

I'm not fussed about the songs, but I want a good stand up comedian booking. The idea being he plays the Padre, starts off playing it straight, but then introduces mirth into the reading. Family and loved ones almost do themselves an injury trying to keep a straight face as it is a funeral and you cannot laugh by law. Apparently. |

Handel's Arrival of the Queen of Sheba: as my coffin comes in. Diva to the end and will lighten the mood.
Roberta Flack's First Time Ever I Saw Her Face: during the service to remind them, yep, it's still all about me.
Boyz to Men End of the Road as I leave on my final journey.
Now I'm feeling maudlin...  |

I threw Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells in as a random suggestion. I honestly don't know what song(s) I'd like to be played.
It's something I'd perhaps think about when I'm older. |

In My Life-Johnny Cash version. I Cried For You-Katie Meluah. As Sure As Eggs Are Eggs-Genesis. But I want the coffin carried to the benny hill theme tune, everyone shuffling along at high speed and a womans dress has to fall off on the way. |

How can people even consider/think/plan their own death?
That's the ultimate definition of morbid.
...even if this thread is just for laughs.
I can't get there in my head. It's so morbid.
You get one go in this world...you should be rocking life!  |

Some do though its the big event aka the wedding but your not there! Ok so you are but you are not dancing. People like to plan it pay for it even sort the food at the wake. I hark expect someone to pop up at some point and say they have a stripper planned for the mourners at some point. |
