Precisely, I want my funeral to be a celebration.

hMMMMMMMM Eric Clapton.....Tears in heaven




ohhhhhhhhh so sad this song...

I want my funeral to be a party too, but my dad was 81 and he didn't leave any requests, was old fashioned, so will be old fashioned, I guess.

I have already told my daughter that I want to be cremated and what beach I want my ashes scattered on.

Guess it is a generational thing, we are thinking ahead, our parents didn't think that way.

That's cool.

This is another good one, and if I ever die, it's getting played at my funeral too...

Goo Goo Dolls-"I'm Still Here"

...that's all me and the song will remind everyone at my funeral of every memory of me.

...then, afterwards, I'm coming back from the dead and scaring the crap outta everyone at my funeral!

This is one of the songs that I want at my funeral:

Spirit in the Sky

I also like Amazing Grace.

hMMMMMMMM what about the 3 tenors????


Or........I played Ava Maria at my wedding.......my hubby thought it was a funeral song......bahhhhhhhhhh

ave maria by Nana Mouskouri is the best.......

That IS so sad.

I'll check them out tomorrow when I get the chance. Good ideas and thanks again.

I am up to my gizzard in typing tonight, so need to "git-r-done."

Thanks again for the wonderful ideas.

Tears in Heaven is a good one too.
So many good ideas, lots to think about.

I want Purple Rain by Prince to be played at my funeral...

round and around, by the highway men

waylon's got some good stuff too.

When I find myself in times of trouble

mother mary comes to me

speaking words of wisdom

Let it be....

for that matter "Jim I Wore a Tie Today"

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
there will be an answer, let it be.

i concur! .... high beach!

It is more sappy but we played it at my grandmothers funeral and I think it is a good song.

I just rather nobody cry at my funeral. I'd rather them be smiling, laughing, and having fun.

This is how everyone at my funeral will and has always seen me...
