Nothing. I've made it quite clear to my friends and family that there won't be a funeral. Heck, there may not even be a body.

Nothing.

As long as I've seen my kids do well and given them a cuddle I don't care about the rest.

I am concerned about what impact the choice of Fire or Worms has in the afterlife though.

IIRC it was Spike Milligan that said his funeral was nothing to do with him, and he didn't intend to be there.

I'm with spike.

The Flaming Lips... And we're going to hand out word sheets, and every ****'s going to sing along or I'll haunt them.

Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes -
let them know you realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

And then let's play out with the Go! Team

Jethro Tull's 'We Used to Know' and Fairport Convention (Sandy Denny's version), 'Meet on the Ledge'.

Everyone in tears (if anyone turns up), job done.

As the curtains open and my coffin begins to go into the furnace, I would like Disco Inferno to be played very loudly.

That or "I am the god of hellfire, and I bring you FIRE"

'If You Don't Know Me By Now', to be played as the casket trundles away to be cremated, obviously 😉

Edit: ah, I see I was beaten to it!

I'd request Bowie's Lazarus...

...but I also want something suitably flippant that will raise a smile. Good call to the poster who suggested "Shine on you crazy diamond".

I think the Happy Mondays' Hallelujah might be in with a shout.

Ideally I'd like the curtains to open, coffin move forward then reverse as "Should I Stay or Should I Go" play.

"Movin on up" by Primal Scream would be good or "This Monkey's Gone to Heaven". Failing that "Dear God" by XTC.

I entirely agree.

Although I am not joking, I genuinely intend to have Killed by Death as I go through the final curtain. So long as I go before most of my mates (the Goths and Bikers particularly) it will give them one last giggle 😉

I want Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac "Need your love so bad" before a Humanist reading to anyone that can be arsed to turn up.

My lad has been told in no uncertain terms, that despite what his mum says, AC/DCs Highway to Hell gets played as the curtains open.

"Ellan Vannin", just because I'm a Manxman and "Take Me To The Place" (Deacon Blue), because it's like "Abide With Me" but even better, and with beautiful fretless bass.
If I have a headstone anywhere, then I'd like it to have a mountain hare on one side and a raven on the other.
