If it was suicide, either Billie Holiday or Lydia Lunch's versions of Gloomy Sunday

The ending theme from SNL

I actually have a full list of songs I want played my wake and/or funeral I carry around with me at all times in my wallet. "Amazing Grace" on the pipes and "Freebird" are on there, plus an assortment of White Zombie, Slayer, and The Misfits.

Also, as far as popular music, I always though "Freebird" would make a pretty good funeral song.

 

Seconded. Although 'Riders on the Storm' or 'When the Music's Over' would have to get in there somewhere, just because I want to have at least one Doors song at my funeral.

It's been ordered of my girl and my family that when I die, my hearse is to have speakers on it that play "The Peter Gunn theme" as they take me to the grave.

 

On repeat.

 

As for in the funeral home, fuck I'm going with "My Way" by Elvis. I like it. And "In the ghetto" doesn't work since I don't live in the ghetto.

I've been listening to that song a lot recently, great stuff.

 

I would pick Free Bird but Elizabethtown already used it.

Bob Barron, you're from Ontario and/or New York. You're not going to be buried to "Freebird," if you're indeed following up other people's "at my funeral, play" posts.

"Wish You Were Here" is probably a pretty good one.

Not the shitty Incubus song.

 

I want "The Most Exalted Potentate of Love" to be played at my funeral.

 

Tom Waits' "Misery is the River of the World" would be good for a larf.
