Discussion what music will play at your funeral?

[moribundwhispers]

i don't want a funeral and i'll say that directly in my suicide note. but realistically, i have no choice.

I don't want a funeral. I just want to disappear and to never have existed.

 

[unluckysadness]

I've written my goodbye letter but I must write another note about the songs I'd like - probably Procol Harum's A Wither Shade of Pale. I really love this song. And another catholic hymn I guess

 

[moribundwhispers]

if they still decide to hold a funeral i'll request they play Entrance of the Gladiators by Julius Fučík

 

[darksouls]

people treated me like trash
no stage for that hypocritical scum

I thought the same thing

But I have requested not to have a funeral but if I did…

Probably something cliche that I wouldn't want played but that someone insists was one of my favorites and exactly what I'd pick.

I'm in the process of getting a Will drawn up with a solicitor, who are also named as the Executors, in which i will explicitly state that i do not want any sort of funeral, so eg a direct cremation, and ashes disposed of by the crematorium and not returned to my next of kin.
In the UK the executor of the Will is responsible for arranging the funeral. If you dont name one, by default the executor is your next of kin, who can do whatever they like. They don't have to follow your wishes if they choose not to.
So no tunes for me.

I don't want a funeral either and would prefer to be cremated (and most likely left to the state) and not leave or allow any family members access to my ashes

but if I had no choice and my wishes weren't respected I would burn a CD with Party Rock on it to confuse everyone/catch everyone's attention and then in the middle it's just a recording of me calling out the people I don't want to be at the funeral and airing out all of their dirty laundry and then it just cuts back to the song (as a final joke or F.U. to some of the people who treated me badly)

video unrelated (the thread title made me remember this)

I dont want a funeral either, thats the last thing id want. no one would show up anyway. but I suppose my favourite ambient track playing with no one around to listen is symbolic in a way, so if I must choose then #19 by aphex twin

 

[caramelkidney]

probably nothing i like. like everyone else, i dont want a funeral, but my horrific family will probably still hold one for me.

If I had to pick a tune, then "Goodbye Cruel World" by Pink Floyd.
