I like this song, it's the most beatiful piece of music I've ever heard.

I wouldn't leave it up to me to decide. None of the music that I enjoy would compliment a funeral. I imagine that the church would have a better understanding on fitting music, so I'd leave it in their hands.

The Big Lebowski soundtrack

and, as ive said earlier, I want my tombstone to read "The Dude Abides"

*in hindsight, want whatever my family and closest friends want played. I want them to get drunk, reminisce about the good times, and laugh and cry their soul out as they please. When Im put into the ground, I want people to leave their emotions at the door so they can keep going on with their lives.

I'd like a heavy song to start with like Andrew W.K. - We Want Fun, because it's so awesome. To finish I'd like a soft song like Johnny Cash - If You Could Read My Mind.

Yeah but if he doesnt care about his death, I doubt he would care about his funeral song...:|

But personally, I'd leave it up to my family and friends.

That's an...ok song, but I don't think it would really capture the mood of a funeral. It's not really relevant to the situation in any way as far as I can tell :P

I'd want "Prostitute" by Guns N' Roses to be played at my funeral. The outro is very soothing.

Probably some electronica, because everyone loves electronica! In all seriousness, I'd let my family and friends decide, I'm good with what ever so long as the funeral home isn't choosing the music.

Perhaps something from Burial. He's music is great and it's ambient and perhaps even sad to some. I love it. Also the name would fit the bill. ;)

Reel Big Fish plays the same genre as Streetlight. :) The song's actually very depressing if you listen to the lyrics.

Probably Fade to Black.

And since hearing is supposedly the last sense to go away, this is a valid topic. :PÂ
