Hmmm...I think about this often, having attended too many funerals and wakes over the years. My grandmother requested “Ave Maria” at hers, and I always think of her when I hear it. A friend died much too early back in the early 90s, and they played “Calling All Angels” by Jane Siberry. I think I would like Warren Zevon’s “ Keep Me In Your Heart”. Maybe Sly and the Family Stone “Life”, or Funkadelic “Can You Get To That”.
Song (or music) you want played at your funeral.
This is a variation on the "Favorite song" (or Classical composition) choice, as this title should in some way be related to mortality. Can you tell I'm approaching the end of mine? For me the choice is obvious; imo one of the three greatest songs I've ever heard (the other two being "What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted" and "No Time To Cry"): "God Only Knows", music by Brian Wilson, lyrics by Tony Asher, recorded by The Beach Boys in 1965. Light years above what anyone else in Pop music (or even Classical and Jazz) was doing at the time (or has done since), including The gd Beatles.
