Music for the Mourners.  With me it would be

Funeral for a Friend by ELTON JOHN  (just the first few piano minutes)
A Whiter Shade of Pale (Procul Harem)

I'm not having a funeral.

If I did, the music would be something like this.

If not that, something like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQO1qZD5lek

And I'm not even slightly joking.

My will states "No funeral", however, if friends and family insist, I have asked for those two tunes (or something similar) to be played.

Despite claiming I am a failed christian I love this soneg and would love it in my funeral songs!

Redneck, that was truly awful (nice Strat, though).

Who the hell is she, anyway?

This would be more my style, at a funeral:

Not at all.

I've put up my funeral songs (not that I'd have a funeral).

This would be another one:

My year 4 teacher hated me so much that he said they should play "Zippidee Doodah" at my funeral. He never did get over his butt-hurt attitude of reprimanding the wrong person.

This topic I suspect was posted by someone in their mid sixties or older!

My reasoning is us in that age group or older in my case  spend a lot of our time fare welling family and friends at funerals.

Listening to the music one thinks the obvious "What songs do I want at my funeral?" as a serious question.

Most of the answers on here are BS from people trying to have a joke, probably aged less than 50!

You too will get old!

Better have a re-think on that.

Some of us 'oldies' are so pissed off with the world we had now disappearing, that we have adopted a DILIGAF attitude.

I swing from AC/DC to ZZ Top. Eclectic.

That's not the world I now inhabit.

Interesting!

I am a massive Stones fan but dont see their music as my sort of funeral music. Bit hard to sit there and get sentimaental thinking of my departed friend listening to "Honky Tonk Woman"  "Brown Sugar" or similar.

I am a sort of failed christian so love some sentimental hymns

THIS really is the song I want at my funeral. Others think they won't be dying EVER ...  but nobody knows when your Number will come up.  Izzy died in 1997 and this is a contribute to his Funeral .... thus the scattering of the ashes ......

I think you misunderstand. My point was not about the genre of the music, rather that everyone should gather and share in a celebration of an acquaintance lost.

In an ideal world, this would then result in new friendships formed on a shared basis, the loss of the old.

Growth and renewal, expansion, through death.

A living memory.

I for one am older than 50 Red. Ol' Mr death is coming for all of us but I'm not going to take him too seriously, just like Mr Life.

I'll let others choose the music, it's for them, not me.
