songs for your funeral

what are some songs you want played at your funeral ? I personally am hoping they do not have any preaching etc, just have a seat, play about 4 or 5 songs with my ashes in a urn and leave.....mine are always changing. Art of Dying is not one of my favorites, but lyrics are great - still a work in progress. Ideally it would be outdoors, using my main stereo cranked loud - wife would never do that tho and will probably have a normal preaching one with everyone praying for my poor unsaved soul.....I believe these songs should impart my thoughts on the matter :music:

Galileo - Indigo girls
Highwayman - the highwaymen
within you without you - beatles
art of dying - george harrison
have you ever - brandi carlile

The piano exit part of "Layla". I have told my family & friends this, & furthermore if they DON'T follow my wishes, I shall come back & haunt 'em. So there.
 
As of now, my choices are strictly 'The Who':
- Behind Blue Eyes
- Won't Get Fooled Again, and of course,
- I Can See For Miles...:D
 
worse one I have ever heard - a woman died unexpectedly and they played her favorite song - Freebird live version - it just went on and on and on. If I wanted to do that, I would choose Southern Man off of 4 way street - 12 minutes of pure rock , but I wouldn;t do that to them
 
Dvorak's 9th, 2nd movement.:tears:
Funny, I've thought about this before. Force my family to actually listen to something good.
 
Wow what a dark thread, I don't have a list and never thought about it!
Regards,
Jim
 
My all time favorites:
Theme From A Summer Place --Percy Faith --1959
Nightlife ---Ray Price ---1963
James
 
The blues standard- "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean".
I like Bloomfields' version. He also does "Knockin' Myself Out" another blues song about digging an early grave.
 
This is the most innovative thread I have ever gone through, a little creepy though.
After some thoughts I feel I would like to listen to - I'll Sleep When I'm Dead...
Finally, I will get some rest from this hectic life :-)
