Default Song you want played at your funeral?
I know this is a rather morbid topic, lol, but is there a specific song you want to be played at your funeral/wake?

Perhaps it's a sad number, or something that epitomises you? Or maybe it's something more upbeat to try and cheer people up?

I personally have never thought about it. I'm not sure, to be honest.

Spice Girls - Goodbye.

I love the song. Ginger was my favourite Spice Girl aswell -- I know the song wasn't about her (so they say) but it's in memory of her.

I hate talking about funeral songs =|
My boyfriend sent me a song his favourite song of all time [Great Gig In The Sky - Pink Floyd] and then was like ''it's my funeral song'' and I was just like 'don't. you'll make me cry =('

AS FOR ME
I'm not sure.
Maybe Radiohead - Street Spirit.

Countdown theme tune.

Seriously. Everyone thinks I am joking but I have told both my parents and my boyfriend that when I being cremated that as the curtains close on the furnace the conundrum song plays.

That, and "Could it be Magic" by Take That.
Everyone's invited. Party of the year.

lol I can imagine the reactions of the family.

Anyway for me I want something ****ing depressing like I want everyone to cry. I hope they will because they will miss me. If they won't I will really be pi$$ed off.
The song would be The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony.

Had me fallin asleep after a minute, it would'nt make me cry but it would stop me going to any other funerals thats for sure.
If I played this till the end, I'd probably end up at my own sooner too.

On a sub-topic of this, what do you reckon is the most inappropriate song to play at a funeral?

[Just so we don't feel too depressed]

I'd say Mousse T - Horny?

That is total BS Hallelujah is one of the most beautiful songs ever written and is very moving. This Imogen Heap version by not be by fave (jeff buckey will always own it sorry) but she is a wondeful singer and has keept it nice and simple.
