Did you choose what music will be played at your funerals ?
I want to make a playlist for mine.
I’m looking for songs with a “happy” music but with “sad” lyrics. Fool’s garden – Lemon Tree for example.
Do you have an idea for me ? And what do you plan for you ?

I like the music for the move sound track We Were Soldiers
I want to play the song I Don’t Care by Apocalyptica at my funeral. I would love to see the reaction.
You shouldn’t search for a song though. You have to play your favorite song, and for now you should not die. <3
Find a song that will get you through this time instead.
I’m not sure what it’s called but think it’s Funeral Song by The Rasmus. Always imagined having it playing.
I think Tool – Disposition, on repeat, would be good.
Or, To Live Is To Die, an instrumental by Metallica (i love all their instrumentals; Call of Ktulu and Orion are both awesome)… with but a single spoken-word verse:
“When a man lies, he murders some part of the world.
These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives.
All this i cannot bear to witness any longer.
Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home?”
Or maybe Jambi…
You know what, i won’t be there, so they can pick whatever makes them feel… whatever they think they want or need to feel. Funerals are for those left behind, not the one who leaves.
I’ve said no funeral or services in my living trust. But… if I were to want a song played for me, it would be ” I Am A Rock” by Simon and Garfunkel.
