    If you could pick your funeral song...
    ...what would you make it and why?

    I'm not trying to be morbid or anything, but it would be interesting to hear what people would play as their funeral songs. Like a song that represents you, your personality, life etc.

    Personally, I'd pick this:



    I just think this song would be bold enough for my personality but sort of sad enough/haunting for a funeral.

    I waver between For Those About to Rock (We Salute You) by AC/DC to provide a nice background for the fireworks I want and Your Spirit to Me by Big Country because it says the things I think a good funeral song should.

    I like this topic, I want the la's 'There she goes.' It's a bit cheery for a funeral, but as they carried out my coffin it would be phenomenal.

    What do you mean "if..." :/ You CAN choose your funeral music bro.

    For me, probably the original pokemon theme.

    Reminds me of a comedy routine I saw a while back, can't remember who it was, but they said "At my funeral, I want a chinese band, so they can sing Don't Stop Bereaving"

    I know it's not a song, but something I hope that I am towards my family and friends which is passionate and inspirational. Therefore if possible I'd put Al pacino's speech of Inch by inch, demonstrating my aspirations and the type of person I hope to become when I am older.

    I was thinking of something like Another one bites the dust by Queen, but I guess my family etc may not appreciate it XD

    I had all my funeral music planned out at one point. Definitely going to feature Faure's Elegie for cello and 'The Circle of Life' from The Lion King :yes:
