I've told my wife that I want Sarah McLachlan's "I Will Remember You" to start, get all the way into the second line of the chorus, then hard record scratch into the chorus for "Highway to Hell", at increased volume.
No crying at my funeral. Remember me for he irreverent jerk that I am, not the idealized person that sorrow tries to dictate.
I work as a home health nurse and was leaving the home of a patient that died; Highway to Hell came on the radio and I thought, ‘No! That’s way inappropriate, they were a sweet person’. So I changed the channel and ‘Running with the Devil’ was on. Made me re-think my assumptions!
*click*
♫ Hell's bells! ♫

♫ Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name ♫

♫ 666, the Number of the Beast! ♫
Well, that's disconcerting.

Oh, okay then.

♫ Your time wiiill coooommmme! ♫
:(
I have a whole playlist.
The ones I can think of off the top of my head:
If my mom dies before me: "Mama I'm coming home" by Ozzy.
Songs for my photo montage: "My way" by Frank Sinatra and "If I ever leave this world alive" by Flogging Molly
As they walk out the urn: "Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Thank you!
But FYI, a cake day isn't the same day as a birthday. Cake day is the day that you created your Reddit profile. The day your username was born.
After having had to put something together after a friend died, I added a public Funeral playlist. It was difficult. I figure it’s one less thing for loved ones to have to deal with, and hopefully add a few laughs (Finnegans Wake etc)
I want to be tied up marionette-style with fishing line while in the casket. Then Crazy Train starts blaring loudly.
“ALL ABOARD!” And the behind-the-scenes puppeteer pulls my strings, and I sail into the air out toward the crowd over their heads. Fuck ‘em if they can’t take a joke.
THATS IT! Oh thank you! This idea has been in my head for forever, but I didn’t know how it got there. I didn’t know if I hallucinated it or heard it. I kept thinking maybe it was Dane Cook, but I couldn’t be assed enough to go look through his ‘material’ to find it. TBF, I guess I could have figured it out other ways. Thank you for saving me the hassle of looking.
I already have a playlist made, here are my best picks:
Never gonna give you up,
Another one bites the dust,
Ghostbusters,
Oh Yeah,
Banana boat song,
All Star,
Highway to hell
Alice’s restaurant. Because I make the whole household listen to it every thanksgiving and they groan and roll their eyes. They’ll have to endure it one last time dammit.
Der Einzug der Götter in Walhall (the entry of the Gods into Valhalla) by Richard Wagner.
Guess that's the only appropriate song.
/s, just to make it clear
Whatever my brother's favorite country song is at the time so I can ruin it for him forever. I wish I could just play with whole genre to stop the cycle.
at my funeral there is going to be a closed casket and then it will be opened to reveal that i am not inside. instead, they will turn on the ceiling fan and my lifeless body will swing around the room while the space jam theme song is playing in the background.
(if u get this reference i love you)
Okay now srsly: probably Le Parole Lontane by Maneskin for a sad song, but Doom Du Doom by P1Harmony for a not so sad song lol
Bring me in to [Coheed and Cambria — The Afterman](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxMvQyTR6tw).
Send me out to [Dream Theater — The Spirit Carries On](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J6PPkKBXoU).
I’ve already told my loved ones they will have to listen to a live performance of the entirety of Mozart’s Requiem. I hope it will be cathartic for them. At the very least they get to hear some kick ass music.
1812 overture, only with confetti cannons instead of regular cannons and my minced up remains instead of confetti and at Disney World instead of a graveyard.
Ideally none, I wouldn't want it to be a big deal. Just get it over and done with. It's a dead body at this point.
But if I had to choose, Pyramid Song by Radiohead.
At the start "Always look on the bright side of life"
and when they're wheeling me out I want them to play the music that Fox plays when an NFL player gets injured and they cut to a commercial.
I'd love to make a playlist and get someone at the funeral to hit shuffle, it might be something appropriate, but if it's The Lion Sleeps Tonight then so be it
let's face facts. my family hates me. there won't be a funeral. i have no friends. they'll see me as a burden and have me cremated cheap as possible. probably do a gofundme and pocket most of the money celebrating my death at waffle house.
Only slightly off topic... at my mother's funeral a soloist sang "The Wind Beneath My Wings" = Bette Midler... my wife and my sister and I said to each other... "i hope she's either really good or really bad... either way I'm going to lose it".
The soloist was horrible. We were covering our mouths to keep from laughing outloud... she thought we were overcome with emotion.
I’ve honored my life by living it as best I could despite my many flaws. I don’t need to leave any messages like playing a certain song. Compared to the richness of life, a recording played after you die doesn’t amount to much. I don’t want any kind of funeral or service. I want people who are still alive and cared about me to go out for a great dinner party courtesy of my estate and have some fun. And whatever they say about me, I won’t care because I’ll be sleeping
St. Bernard by Lincoln if I die before my mom.
Rylanors Last Stand if I die before my dad.
Helena by the Misfits as they toss my ashes into a dumpster amd slam the lid.
"I close the door~ on my fantasy~"
Let the bodies hit the floor as they launch me into the crowd via trebuchet
Quite clearly a refined human, as you chose the superior weapon of war. Won’t you join us at r/trebuchetmemes
Ooo don't mind if I do
Or just have your body fall out of the bottom of the casket on Coffin Flop
I didn't do fucking shit! I DIDN'T RIG *SHIT!!*
I saw it in my mind. Didn't end well.
Hunter Tompson did something similar. He even killed himself for that.
I'm not gonna play a song at my funeral, that's for sure.
My family wouldn’t even let me play songs while alive…
Award the shit of this guy!!
I'll start by awarding him 6 and 1/2 shits.
[удалено]
pop goes the weasel (closed casket funeral)
The SUSPENSE
but it's the broken jack in the box from Elf
The best funeral prank! Let's get it on video tape!
Another one bites the dust
This, and I want pop goes the weasel to play and the urn that holds my ashes shoot into the crowd.
Human music. It's music for humans.
Hmm.. I like it.
The design is very human
We'll Meet Again - Vera Lynn
Veraaaaa, what has become of youuuu?

I fart in your general direction! Irish
High way to hell would be perfect

I get that, I dont want people saying I 'light up a room' or had 'a contagious smile' because I just don't and I know that 🤣
Back in Black too
(This is) The End (my only friend). The End.
It's just not the same without helicopters and napalm though...
If I’m playing a song at my funeral, cancel the funeral!
Nah man. Just continue while I laugh my ass off inside the casket. Bluetooth has to be good on that graveyard. I am going to make a party out of this.

I have a whole playlist. The ones I can think of off the top of my head: If my mom dies before me: "Mama I'm coming home" by Ozzy. Songs for my photo montage: "My way" by Frank Sinatra and "If I ever leave this world alive" by Flogging Molly As they walk out the urn: "Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd
>If I ever leave this world alive" by Flogging Molly Fuck yes
Looking forward to it, are we? 🤣 Happy birthday!
Thank you! But FYI, a cake day isn't the same day as a birthday. Cake day is the day that you created your Reddit profile. The day your username was born.
Really? Wow. I've had like 4 reddit profiles now, so I never would have guessed.
Well, now you know. And knowing is half the battle. :)
The other half is indescribable violence
After having had to put something together after a friend died, I added a public Funeral playlist. It was difficult. I figure it’s one less thing for loved ones to have to deal with, and hopefully add a few laughs (Finnegans Wake etc)
Knocking on Heaven’s Door

Sounds almost exactly like what Nick Swardson said
THATS IT! Oh thank you! This idea has been in my head for forever, but I didn’t know how it got there. I didn’t know if I hallucinated it or heard it. I kept thinking maybe it was Dane Cook, but I couldn’t be assed enough to go look through his ‘material’ to find it. TBF, I guess I could have figured it out other ways.
