I've never been a funeral with music, but I'd imagine my song would be "The Rat Who Would Be King" by Matt Good, or, for something more upbeat, "Cemetary Gates" by The Smiths, 'cos Keats and Yates are on my side.

SADDEST SONG EVER (Click to reveal)

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while
Once you're in you're pretty much fucked
When I was the rat
The rat who would be king
I imagined typhoid and us alone
Always us alone
And I've waited on the sidelines all this time
And I've a grenade
With our names scratched on the side
But that's love
And you know that love's not enough

Crawl from the sea
Wait for some thumbs
A greatness to breed
Build the mall of America
When I was rat
The rat would be king
I imagined ashes and us alone
Always us alone
And I've waited on the sidelines all this time
And I've a grenade
With our names scratched on the side
But that's just love
And you know that love's not enough

Cemetary Gates (Click to reveal)

A dreaded sunny day
so I meet you at the cemetery gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side

A dreaded sunny day
so I meet you at the cemetery gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side
while Wilde is on mine

So we go inside and we gravely read the stones
all those people all those lives
where are they now?
with the loves and hates
and passions just like mine
they were born
and then they lived and then they died
seems so unfair
and I want to cry

You say: "ere thrice the sun done salutation to the dawn"
and you claim these words as your own
but I've read well, and I've heard them said
a hundred times, maybe less, maybe more

If you must write prose and poems
the words you use should be your own
don't plagiarise or take "on loans"
there's always someone, somewhere
with a big nose, who knows
and who trips you up and laughs
when you fall
who'll trip you up and laugh
when you fall

You say: "ere long done do does did"
words which could only be your own
and then you then produce the text
from whence was ripped some dizzy whore, 1804

A dreaded sunny day
so let's go where we're happy
and I meet you at the cemetery gates
Oh Keats and Yeats are on your side

A dreaded sunny day
so let's go where we're wanted
and I meet you at the cemetery gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side
but you lose because Wilde is on mine

something like Bob James' in the garden. It's kinda sombre because... it's fucking Paschabel's Canon, but uplifting as it's a soft jazz version of it. and when I die, I wanna be sent away in style.

Also I cannot die so this question is somewhat useless to me.

I would have Comatose by Ayreon playing at my funeral.

Lyrics (Click to reveal)

No need to feel the pain,
No need to feel betrayed,
No need to feel inane,
No need to feel afraid.

Chorus:
Mmm, wake me up before I die, hold me close.
As I gaze upon the sky, comatose.
Mmm, no reason to survive, I suppose.
Wake us up,
before we die.

No need to feel desire (but I need you with me)
No need to feel so small (but I need to feel secure)
No need to feel the fire (but I need to feel free)
No need to feel at all (but I need to know for sure)

Chorus:
Mmm, wake me up before I die, hold me close.
As I gaze upon the sky, comatose.
Mmm, no reason to survive, I suppose.
Wake us up,
before we die.

Chorus:
Mmm, wake me up before I die, hold me close.
As I gaze upon the sky, comatose.
Mmm, no reason to survive, I suppose.
Wake us up,
before we die,
before we die.

Man actually I'm semi-serious about this one

http://leafo.net/hosted/ragnar/04%20-%20Blue%20Calx.mp3 It's a cover of Aphex Twin and I couldn't believe how forlorn it sounded with regular instruments... like some kind of WELSH FUNERAL DIRGE or something

Going Home - Sophie Zelmani.

Lyrics:

Not very often have we met
But the music's been too bad
Can only sense happiness
if the music is sad

So, I'm going home
I must hurry home
Where a life goes on

We're too old to make a mess
Dreams will keep me young
Old enough to stress
Only mirrors tell the time

So, I'm going home
I must hurry home
So will my life go on
Yes, I'm going home
Going home alone
And your life goes on

Dying Song

I'm going away, forever,
I'm going away, forever,
Never coming back this way,
Never coming back to this place.

What I need is a heaven,
What I really need is a heaven,
A place to go where I can really be,
A place to go where I can really be
Where I can really be.

Dreaming my life away, counts for nothing,
Dreaming my life away, counts for nothing,
But nothing ever is the end,
No, nothing ever is the end.

It's sure been a full life for me, yeah
It's sure been a full life for me, yeahh
It's sure been a full life for me, baby, its sure been a full life for me

The Funeral by Band of Horses.
Not just because of the very fitting title, but the song itself is very dramatic and epic.

formerly known as isithardcor3

this is a OLD banner. the game itself is about 60% done.

I will have my funeral on a green boat and I will have my naked corpse strung up in chains in the ships mast while my family and friends mosh on the deck to the tune of Shipping up to Boston by the drop kick murphy's and my corpse will be dropped into the mosh from above and they can all mosh me into a coffin which will be loaded into a cannon and set on fire and shot through a pane of glass into the sea.

To be honest I have no idea, I wont really care because I'll be dead. I don't want it to be a long drawn out thing where everyone sits around and mourns and my coffin slowly trawls down a conveyor to be cremated or whatever. I don't want a service or anything. So far I would go for the Imperial March theme though, that does sound like a pretty badass way to go out.

EDIT: Ahaha, I read back over the topic to see what some other people put and man I DO NOT GET YOU GUYS SOMETIMES. Like this is really over my head that people would actually want some meaningful lyrical song shit at the funeral. What's the point, is it just to make you relatives sad or do you believe that your soul will be able to hear it and it will carry you up into the afterlife? For me it seems so pointless. It's not like I'll be able to hear it, it's not like it's a mark of respect. I think a funeral should just be for your family to say goodbye and get closure on the fact that you are actually dead and gone rather than making a long drawn out big deal over it. (Is it a last cry out for REMEMBER ME I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED.)

I just can't comprehend any reasoning behind it.

EDIT2: OH RIGHT JOKE POST (lol)_ I get it now.
