What music would you like at your funeral?


Assuming that at some point far into the future that you have gone to audiofile heaven, what you you like people to play at your funeral in case you are listening and to help them with their loss?

My wife and I cannot decide on "Comfortably Numb", "The Great Gig in the Sky" or "Another Brick in the Wall" at our funerals. 

Bach and ONlY Bach , the Greatest Composer that has ever lived or ever will!

The best rocker that ever loved is not !/1000 of Bach ,

No opinion just FACT !

 

Green Day "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)" 

Or, if life somehow becomes terrible, perhaps something by Yoko Ono.

To Be Over, from Relayer, and the last movement of Mussorgsky's Pix At An Exhib, the Reiner RCA version/
How about the Beatles "The Long and Winding Road" since I'm looking forward to seeing many old friends when I get to the next life...
Maybe followed up by something uplifting from Bach...
I've thought about this question more than is healthy, I'm sure. One contender is Libera Me from Faure's Requiem. But I'm currently leaning toward one of Bach's Goldberg Variations. Either the Aria or Var. 13 or perhaps the final variation, no. 30. My wife just loves it when I have some new thoughts on this quesiton.
Henry Purcell: Dido's Lament from Dido and Aeneas
Bela Bartok: 3rd movement from Concerto for Orchestra
I want to be cremated and I want 2 musical selections.

So nothing other than "Light My Fire" by The Doors will do for me.

"Beautiful Morning" by the Young Rascals.
YHK, you can specify music in a letter to a loved one, or pre plan. Churches may indeed restrict most of the selections mentioned unless snuck in by playing on organ at slower tempo, such as "You Cant Always Get What you Want" played at the funeral in the Big Chill. Funeral homes are often more flexible. So if you try some times, you get what you need.

Play anything as long as it comes out of one channel and on 8 Track...Ironic ehhh?
A friend had requested Black Peter by the Greatful Dead for his funeral. I think it was very fitting and people there wanted to get the lyrics.
Just for laughs, "Spirit in the Sky." To be real, "Come Sunday," the only hymn written by Duke Ellington.
Saint-Saens "The Swan", Springsteen's "Across the Border" and "Born to Run", Jackson Browne's "For a Dancer", and Bill Evans' "Peace Piece".
Dylan, and nothing but Dylan. Most of my family and friends hate the music of Bob Dylan. There's no accounting for taste. I will rest happily knowing that, even from the grave, I can still annoy the hell out of people.

A copy of Quadrophenia goes in the box with me.
Eldartford, isn't that one of the catchy tunes them astronauts were yankin' their crank to when they needed to submit semen samples in The Right Stuff?
Second choice would be the Air Force song.

"Off we go, into the wild blue yonder.."

Whocares73! I saw the Dead on that tour at the Philadelphia Convention Center. I was a Dead virgin and had a blast. The "Wall Of Sound", I'll never forget it. Thanks for the memory jog!
Oops! Posted the above to the wrong thread. Hope nobody is rolling in their grave about it.
So they say of dolts that they have the words but not the music. I guess audiophiles occasionally have the music but not the words.
The Grateful Dead have been requested the most at this point. My pick is "Black Peter", by the Dead. Most likely a version from the 1974 wall of sound tour. 08/06/74 (Tue) Roosevelt Stadium - Jersey City, NJ (second set).

"Let The Mystery Be" - Iris Dement

"Au Fond du Temple Saint" - Jussi Bjoerling & Robert Merrill duet

"Je Suis Desole" - Mark Knopfler

"Old Folks Boogie" - Little Feat
“Good Riddance” by Green Day

Someone posted this question somewhere else or maybe here and somebody gave the answer “So What” by Miles Davis. I think that is the best answer I’ve seen so far.
I'm not sure about MY funeral, but for my mom's last year I played "Grace" by U2 from the All That You Can't Leave Behind CD. She truly was GRACE!
