Have you got your 5 songs for your funeral ??

[bluethrunthru]

I'll think about it when the time comes - someone could write and perform a banger that could go to N01 between now and the dreaded day

Direct cremation, no funeral. Under a grand.

Green recycling bin - free.

Green recycling bin - free.

Dump me in Birmingham. Even easier.

Don't really care about other songs, but I asked my eldest daughter that I be cremated as I don't want her and her siblings to feel guilty about not coming to 'see me' at a grave in the winter and rain.

The one song I said to her to play whether leaving the Crem, sticking me in a pendant or scattering me is...

'New Grass'- Talk Talk

 

[dark 'n stormy]

This one does it for me.

Same here, written in the will. No funeral, get on with your lives.

 

[Barcon]

I’ll probably go with Buzzcocks songs. They’re only 2 mins long and that way everyone can get the fuck out of there and have a drink.
Either that or some extremely long songs that will piss everyone off.

Nice one.
Every funeral I’ve attended just feels forced and over the top depressing!
I don’t want my kids feeling like that and wallowing over me (or not)
Either way, I’d rather them have a few grand (+ other ridiculous costs) in the bank than go to others.

 

[KS55]

I’ve told my friends that if they don’t come to my funeral, I won’t go to theirs.
My funeral will be a few words from Mrs and/or kids, followed by “The Sound of Silence” ………”Hello darkness my old friend.” No god, thanks.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

And I bet you`ll leave no money behind the bar for the first drink you miserable toss pot. ?
Mind you will any fucker bother going to yours? ;)

Gareth Southgate will be there to salute his number 1 fan @BlueHammer85

2. Like A Rolling Stone
3. Twist And Shout
4. Live Forever
5. I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles

[PinkFinal]

Wonder how often Help by the Beatles is used at cremations at the end

[idahoblues]

I remember sitting around playing albums in the 70’s and a friend of mine was obsessed with the idea of having’Shine on you crazy diamond’ played at his funeral. I’d already moved to the States when he was killed in a car crash, mentioned it to his sister years later and she was bummed out she didn’t know about it

 

[Bill Walker]

Don't want a funeral.
If I did and someone was nice enough to turn up last thing I'd want to do is make them sit through a bunch of songs that they don't like.

 

[BimboBob]

I think we went through my choices a couple of years ago...I say we...I couldn't give two hoots what was playing at my funeral as I'd be dead, but the Missus was insistent. I think I wanted Enjoy The Silence by Depeche Mode and as the curtain closed the tardis noise.

She accused me of not taking it seriously and left me alone.

You are correct.
Funeral are for those not yet in a box.

When filing into the chapel On The Street Where You Live by Nat King Cole. When the curtain closes on my coffin Blue Moon Revisited by Cowboy Junkies, and when everyone is leaving, Delilah by Tom Jones, my go to karaoke number….
