Whatever the attendees want. My funeral won't be for me. It will be for the living who are there. I'm not going to know the difference.

'Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life' (Python fanatic here, who saw Eric Idle sing it live in Royal Albert Hall for Not The Messiah: he's a Very Naughty Boy), a Queen track, maybe 'I Want To Break Free,' perhaps Belinda Carlisle's 'Heaven Is A Place On Earth' and definately 'Now We Are Free' from Hans Zimmer's soundtrack to Gladiator

Great idea, I'd pick it except I'm not sure you're allowed to do that one in church, it might damage the holy water fonts.

I also want 'Drop Kick Me Jesus through the Goalposts of Life', 'I'll Fly Away' and 'Lourdes Hymn'.

And I want the funeral mass to be in Latin. Because all of my family members are Protestants and the Latin might make them dissolve into pools of molten metal. With sad eyes.

a funeral could also be for you to give any last words you would like to give. no reason for it to be solely for the living.

Would it be wrong to print in the (seemingly inevitable) program that I had all usable organs harvested before cremation, then have someone play, say, Janis Joplin's "Piece Of My Heart"?

Other than that, I suppose I could go with Avenged Sevenfold's "Little Piece Of Heaven", making sure to specify that the video has to be shown as well, so everyone can be really glad I opted to be cremated...

(Sadly, the band or their label seems to have disabled embedding of the YouTube video, but it's easy enough to find, and well worth it - assuming you have, shall we say, a certain sense of humor.)

It would absolutely not be pop or rock!

I would rather not be dramatic and refer to "my funeral", but I'd just like to say the best funeral music has got to be Chopin's Funeral March.

A funeral seems unlikely. I would like the medical students involved in the dissection of the cadaver I leave to them to listen to whatever music they prefer, if any.
