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

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.

My Body tonight                   Soma mou apopse
You’ve won again                pali nikises
Conquering my heart          ke tin cardia mou ligises
Scorching darkness             Kafto skotadi
Inside me loneliness          mesa mou I monaxia
My poor body                   Soma mou kaimeno
I can’t control you anymore the se orizo pia

My body My Body             Soma mou soma mou
Made of clay                   ftagmeno apo pilo
My body you do whatever Soma mou kanis oti
you want to my mind       thess to mialio

My body My Body             Soma mou soma mou
Made of clay                   ftagmeno apo pilo
My body you do whatever Soma mou kanis oti
you want to my mind       thess to mialio

My body tonight                Soma mou apopse
You’ve revolted                   epanastatises
You left me without a soul    Horis psihi mou afises
The furies will come          I erinues th’arthoun
Wherever you go             opou ke an’pas
My body you sink             Soma mou vouliazis
On the path you walk          sto dromo pou patas
