What Songs Do You Want At Your Funeral?

MiffoShortMiffoShort Posts: 1,901 Member
Just a curious question to find out what music you want played at your funeral. For me it has to be the following songs :)

1. My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion.
2. Always On My Mind - Elvis Presley.
3. Learning To Fly - Tom Petty.
4. Imagine - John Lennon.

What songs will you be having?

Matthew.

    I like that song @AnnePlays :) True it is a morbid subject, but I was just curious to see what everyone is having at their funeral.

    I've never really thought of any song that I'd like, but I imagine that songs from Moulin Rouge would be great. IDK why, just a random thought.

    Probably "Any Other Name" by Thomas Newman. I almost can't stand listening to it cause it's so sad and beautiful.

    If I die young. Ever since I heard it, I thought of it as a nice funeral song lol. I even told my family if i die, thats what I want. They all looked at me like I was crazy lol.

    As a music lover/student/musical theatre geek this is actually something I think about quite often..

    Order of service:
    Piano music to be performed as family and friends arrive:

    I will establish a choir who will sing "Vaults of Heaven" by Andrew Lloyd Webber

    I want the congregation to sing, i know hymns are tradition but I just don't feel those, I would prefer the following showtunes:

    I don't think of it as being morbid. I tend to think of it as a reunion. One day I'll be reunited with my G'Parents and my great G'Parents. A funeral isn't about saying "good-bye" - it's about saying "I'll see you later". I want to have something up-beat and cheery played. I can't put the "FUN" in FUNeral, but I don't want my family to focus on me missing. I want them to be happy I was in their lives.
    ...AND WASH YOUR DING-DANG HANDS!

    I haven't really thought about it.

    I think I'd want Risk by Paul Brandt, hands down my favourite song ever, it's really been an important song in my life and I think the message is so important. I just hope people would listen to it and just not dwell on my death but remember my life and what I got out of it. There's a lot to the story of the songs impact in my life too and I think it's fitting it plays at my funeral if for nobody but me.

    Also Temporary Home by Carrie Underwood. Mainly for the end where she sings about an old man in a hospital bed, just because the message is so powerful and so true, at least for me.

    And if I die young... then If I Die Young by The Band Perry.

    Hmm. Interesting... I haven't really thought about it, but this song is gorgeous - both beautiful and sad. The lyrics are so moving, and I love how the song builds.

    "Ha Ha You're Dead" by Green Day....

    Nah but I don't know, I've never really thought about it. If there was some terrible disaster and I died young I would probably want my mum and brother to sing. Matthew would no doubt sing and play a Green Day song (maybe Good Riddance?), I don't think I have a choice in the matter despite it being my funeral whereas I would want my mum to sing something from one of my favourite films like Anastasia or Mulan or Prince of Egypt.

    For the rest of it just songs I love, like maybe Leliana's Song or the like. Not stuff relating to funerals but sweet, simple songs that are happier and beautiful to cut through the sombre event.

    I'd never heard of that song before so I just looked it up and wow, that song is beautiful! Darn it, I was trying to avoid adding more songs to my list of 'Songs I really want to learn but could never sing ever' but that is an amazing song!
