What songs do you want played at your funeral?

On a related note: search for the speech John Cleese reads at Graham Chapman's funeral. It is hilarious.

I want "After the Fire" by Der Kommisar (aka Falco) to play just to fuck with everyone there. It'd be a great "what the hell?" moment.

Also for no damn reason at all, some They Might Be Giants. Let's close with The Parting Glass, too. Why not?

Something I wrote. Yeah, I'm pretentious like that.
And "Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows" by Lesley Gore. They have to sing it too.

ps - I don't want any "what the hell" moments at my funeral. I want everything loaded in my favor when I hits the pearly gates. It's gonna be a close one....
pps - why not have that background music from the original Halloween playing during the viewing. or the theme from Jaws?
fuck em man, it ain't easy walkin the righteous path.

I don't understand this divide between a celebration/party and a funeral?

It has been my Irish-American experience that they are one-and-the-same.

No, I don't think they should be exclusive at all, and I like your view on funerals. I wasn't thinking about the differences in how we see funerals, as this is a national board.coqui_chris wrote:I don't understand this divide between a celebration/party and a funeral?

The divide is in the fact that everyone here has different death ceremony experiences, and unfortunately, I was not as lucky as you in this area, or so it seems. As a child. my Catholic funeral memories were torturous feats of health care-related marathons of bunches of seniors, one outdoing the other in regards to medication, knowledge of the dead, and how close someone's spouse was to kicking it. They were the Elderly version of Fear Factor. I only remember meat and cheese trays, diabetic support hose, and babushkas. I remember ridiculously long trips to the burial site - the freezing mausoleum at St. Anthony's cemetery where my feet would get cold as some priest would give a sermon that I never listened to. I remember while I was not allowed to be loud, all the adults would laugh about stupid crap instead of talking about the deceased. It has occurred to me that were I to have been a bit older and this forum had been around earlier, I'd have taken advantage of these marathon guilt engorgements to sneak drinks from the tables and toast the deceased.
I on't want my family to have the same connection with funerals that I have. Thus, a party. The thought that it could still be a funeral is a nice one.
RIP Frederick and my beloved GatorX
