It's funny that you'd ask, because I was pondering over this a couple nights ago.

I've been thinking of having this song played:

Not creepy at all - nothing wrong with a bit of "brother, remember your death" from time to time. Considering details like this ahead of the fact will save no small amount of grief (literally) later.

Here are the two I have settled on so far:

When It's All Been Said and Done (Lyrics in video)

Lord of all Hopefulness. (Lyrics are in the expanded description; click on it to expand.)

Not Amazing Grace. Sorry, but no. Maybe the song 'I Call You to My Father's House', set to the same melody, that was sung at my mother's funeral.

Die Mother****er Die.

My battles would think it's hilarious and my family would all leave.

Exactly what I want to happen at my funeral.

I don't care, actually. Whatever song makes my surviving family and friends happy.

I think the word you're looking for is "morbid," not "creepy."

Whatever goes on at my funeral is of no direct concern to me.

I am the one person 100% guaranteed not to be there.

Funerals are for the bereaved, not the corpse.

Just my opinion. :oops:

This can play while somebody important is dumping Lace-Bane's ashes into the ocean

Seriously though, this would be his request, but if his parents are the ones setting up the funeral there will probably be some bad christian music playing instead >_<

Disco Inferno - The Trammps (It fits in well with the cremating process, and my family can dance to it :lol: )

Nah just joking. One day I'll sit down and go through loads of music and decide, as I can't right now.
