(38,958 posts)no funeral for me, body donation program, but if there were to be music, I would prefer "Danny Boy".

(2,670 posts)Being my nickname growing up was Danny I got to hear that song quite a lot and not always sung well.

And I would hope it's not a funeral, but rather a celebration of all the people that I had the pleasure of sharing my time on earth with! I'm right there with you on the scattering.
American Beauty is one of my favorite albums. Hands down...

(4,299 posts)My second song is Uncle John's Band, and I am hoping everyone will have a great time and dance!
Box of Rain is a wonderful choice.

(3,521 posts)1. that John Prine song - I forget the name - where he asks that his body be "cut up and passed around." 2. "Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die" by Willie Nelson and 3. "He Stopped Loving Her Today" by George Jones. I will be laughing my ass off watching friends and family try to figure out who I am thinking of with that last song!

(2,289 posts)Since I'm sure that will take a little time we can do several
Start with this (the musical part):
We can then pick up the pace:
&feature=player_detailpage&list=PL4066898A8D334056
&feature=player_detailpage&list=PL4066898A8D334056
Then a nice end:
&feature=player_detailpage
As the last embers burn along the water line, the ashes blowing away on the wind and sun rising, I hope those that are there see it not as an end, but simply a new beginning as I hope to cross the BriFrost to join those that have gone before me.

(2,289 posts)I completely forgot about the music, which is one of the awesome parts of the movie.
The full symphony stuff is some of my favorite.
Then there is stuff like Apocalyptica doing Metallica on four cellos that is also good

(5,604 posts)I don't expect my ending to be kind or humane, something like this will just be the last song in my mind:
unless otherwise, maybe then something like this, if someone still gives a shit.:
On edit, going with the first idea, Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel would be likely too.
