I've always wanted River Man by Nick Drake. Such a perfect song, plus it reminds me a lot of my childhood as my Dad used to play it to me on the guitar.

Well My Dad wants "Sweet about Me" By Gabrella Chilmi

I'd have Life Is A Highway, either by Rascal Flatts or Tom Chocrane

[Westie.]

That.

Of course, that isn't to everyone's tastes.

I'd be laughing my head off at a funeral if I heard "Sweet About Me", and probably singing along too :') It'd be awkward for everyone else of course, but screw 'em.

Anyway, I'd choose This Is Not The End by Clare Maguire. It's beautiful, it's by an artist I love, and it's got some excellent lines in it that are very funeral-like. I get goosebumps every time I listen to it.

[Profesh]

One of my own compositions; probably this.

[why-hello-there]

I would say something by Radiohead, but that would probably just depress people more.

Mr Blue Sky by ELO or In My Life by The Beatles.

After the event:

[minthumbugs]

Feeling good- Muse version of course

[blackraven]

I Bet someone has already mentioned this, but it would definitely be either Stairway to heaven or Another one bites the dust (just so my family and friends can have a good time) because Led Zeppelin and Queen are amongst my top 3 artists (the second being Nirvana) so either this or this

edit: if i die young, i might pick or

[vox001]

The Countdown theme tune

[Eldedu]

Alive by Pearl Jam

Because if people aren't confused at my funeral then I'll be sorely disappointed.

[PinkMobilePhone]

I've been to four funerals, and not one of them had any music. Honestly I can't imagine any music being played for mine either.

If I DID have anything played at my funeral though, I won't be around to hear it, so I don't imagine it would really make a difference. Something my kids and/or husband picks out will do - after all, a funeral is more for the benefit of the people we leave behind.

That being said, if I were to benefit at all from a funeral, which I doubt I would, then the theme music from Dragonheart is very beautiful and appropriate :
