wasn't sure if this had been done before?
what song would you have at your funeral?
me = thirty three by smashing pumpkins.
beautiful song.
or possibly don't you forget about me by simple minds.

OR
Evanescence - Bring me back to life (for pure amusement purposes)
my mum and step-dad insist that they want 'always look on the bright side of life...'.
not sure what i want - i sometimes think oooh i'll have that at my funeral and mean to write it down but then forget about it.
Dougal - with or without you
A few more but I can't think at the mo
Chumbawumba- Tub thumping hehe
Seriously, I was think about this the other day and at the moment I am looking at "Good Riddance " and "Ha-Ha You're Dead" by Green Day, they fit my sense of humour and I know that my family would understand that...
Megadeth - A Tout Le Monde
or as someone has already said...
Skynyrd - Free Bird
My boyfriends grandad's funeral was yesterday, and he had Ava Maria as we arrived, a Celine Dion song (that I truly can't remember the name of now..) during the service, as it was his and his wifes song, and the main one was Frank Sinatra - My Way to finish. Because he truly did do it his way, and it ended up that after the "gathering", me, my boyfriend, the boyfriends brother and their grandma (the widow) walked back to her house singing it at the tops of our voices.
I've considered loads, serious and daft, it's a conversation I seem to have with friends strangely often. Going Underground by The Jam or Another One Bites the Dust would be amusing, but I've always liked the idea of Wayfaring Stranger as sung by Joan Baez, or The Beatles' In My Life, Miracles of Nature by Christy Moore or even The Parting Glass in that cheesy old Celtic tradition.
However I have decided for the moment on Send in the Clowns, as performed by an off-key drag queen of course. So if I die in the next month or so, that'll be the one for me
eta: The "best" (most fitting?) song I have heard at a funeral was Into The Mystic by Van Morrison. It was just perfect.
I'd also like Desiderata by Max Ehrmann read out.
I don't want a Christian funeral... Maybe a humanist one.
seriously though i dont know i havent really thought about it although the alice deejay song cud be quite good if it was sorta slowed down and not a dance song
or dj sammys song - heaven the candle light remix i think
Highway To Hell - AC/DC (as performed by Marilyn Manson)
Black Label Society - Funeral Ball
Pantera - Cemetary Gates or Hollow
The Smiths - There Is A Light
The Flaming Lips - Feeling Yourself Disintegrate
Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye
Radiohead - Exit Music (For A Film)
Radiohead - Bullet Proof (I Wish I Was)
Yep, and if anyone isn't crying by the end, I'll have people torture them until they are.
I...do not know what i will want. Maybe, Sarah McLachlan's "Fear"
Cremation?
That's what I want them to bump on my funeral...
Yes, actually >.<.
