Funeral music - anything planned?

[slowwww]

I'm not feeling particularly morbid at present, but I had a discussion with other 50 somethings at work earlier who were surprised to hear that I've told my nearest and dearest the music I want at my funeral.

Anybody else done this?

Mine are:-

Barber Adagio (the sobby one from Elephant Man)
Bach Double Violin Concerto, 2nd movement (beautiful, uplifting music from the film Children of a lesser God)
Bob Marley and the Wailers - Redemption Song
Led Zeppelin - Thank you

A friend of mine has chosen Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd which seems appropriate, and another who's also intending to be cremated has in mind The Doors 'Come on Baby Light my Fire'

Don't know about music but certainly don't want the word "God" to be mentioned at any time.

Depends if I'm buried

My funeral instructions are "leave me out under a tree for the hyaenas, and chuck anything that remains into the Kafue River". Can't see that there'll be a lot of music involved with that........

I don't plan on going anywhere, so I don't need any music.

Yeah, Monty Python's "Sit On My Face And Tell Me That You Love Me"

We've had this thread before, and I'm still going with 'metal machine music'.

I didn't see the thread before, but I'm guessing "Living in a Box" and "Going Underground" got a mention?

If anyone says "My Way" I'm going to burst out laughing.

If anyone says "My Way" I'm going to burst out laughing.

There's a funeral director near me called "I did it my way". But you're right, they almost certainly didn't.

As for me, I don't care, just throw me on the compost heap.

I'm not having a funeral, so nothing.

The grim reaper's probably already having nightmares about knocking on your door.
