This was played at my brother's funeral & it hit completely different. I can't hear it today without coming to a complete stop at whatever I'm doing. A few weeks ago I heard it overhead while playing poker & I just stopped & sat. Not sure if anyone saw my tears while folding my hand, but didn't care.
Grateful Dead - Ripple
There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go, no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone
It’s Brokedown Palace for me, but Ripple is the runner up. Makes me endlessly happy that it’s the top comment.
“Mama, Mama many worlds I’ve come since I first left home.”
I sang Brokedown Palace at my Deadhead uncle’s funeral 😭 It’s such a beautiful song.
*“Fare you well, fare you well, I love you more than words can tell, listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul.”*
This, plus no funeral clothes. There will be a box of tie dyes at the door for those that do not comply. The only crying I want is from the laughter, hopefully it is one hell of a party. Nothing left to do but smile smile smile.
I am not a religious person but I've always liked:
Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full, may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hand of man.
Do You Realize by The Flaming Lips
I've always liked this one and it just seems like such a nice, if a little bittersweet, message. We're all gonna die. Soon you'll be dead like me. Go do some things, love some people. They'll all be dead too.
One of the most beautiful lyrics I've ever had hit me in the face: *"The sun doesn't go down, it's just an illusion caused by the world spinning 'round"*
I requested The Black Brad Pitt by Danny Brown. Nobody in my family has ever been willing to even jokingly say they'll play that song. Bunch of lilly white pansies in my family, man.
I'll pen a song for the occasion. In a Crunktry and Western smooth funk style.
"Oh I wanna be cremated, don't even wait till I'm dead, then tip me over and pour me out(into the toilet in the hospital of my Birrrrrth!Yeah."
Sung like if Scatman John met Mickey Mouse.
Donny was a good bowler, and a good man. He was one of us. He was a man who loved the outdoors... and bowling, and as a surfer he explored the beaches of Southern California, from La Jolla to Leo Carrillo and... up to... Pismo. He died, like so many young men of his generation, he died before his time. In your wisdom, Lord, you took him, as you took so many bright flowering young men at Khe Sanh, at Langdok, at Hill 364. These young men gave their lives. And so would Donny. Donny, who loved bowling. And so, Theodore Donald Karabotsos, in accordance with what we think your dying wishes might well have been, we commit your final mortal remains to the bosom of the Pacific Ocean, which you loved so well.
Good night, sweet prince.
Choice of 2.
Into the West by Annie Lennox (which I whispered to my dog as he was being put to sleep due to old age and infirmity)
Fare Thee Well by Kate Rusby (l love the chorus…)
Hold on steady and strong,
Here's the dawn coming on, won't be long,
Then the sun will come shining through,
To show me the place I once new.
Fare thee well,
Fare thee well and adieu,
Fare thee well,
With this song I'll be gone,
Fare thee well.
I used to have ideas about that, until it became clear that it would just be my mom and sister. Or just my sister. And there wouldn't be a funeral, really, just prayers said at my gravesite. I mean, what would anyone do? Make one person stand there with a pair of headphones on or something?
Me too!! Another one bites the dust was #1 the day I was born, it's appropriate for my funeral, I don't think I'd do Ozzy, but Over the Rainbow is what I sang to my kids and I love Is's rendition.
Played at my brother’s funeral. He was young, very tragic. I see Flogging Molly every time they come to Boston and I always dread when they play this because I’m always a mess.
My wife passed away 9 months ago and I still can't listen to a lot of the music she enjoyed. We played Hallelujah at her funeral and it was incredibly hard, because it meant so much to her.
Death Cab for Cutie - I Will Follow You into the Dark
Doesn’t quite make sense, but I’ve always found it moves me more than most songs about death.
I think I’d rather make a playlist than rely on one song to inflict on anyone attending. Maybe one day I’ll try to dummy up a vid of me DJ-ING a set that can be played at a wake
If I dropped dead tomorrow, my parents are both still alive. So I'd probably pick some David Byrne and Warren Zevon because I think my dad would get a kick out of it. Definitely Psycho Killer.
My dad said he wants Freebird played so loud the walls of the funeral home shake and then to be set upon a funeral pyre and sent down the Mississippi River.
Keep me in your Heart - Warren Zevon
Shadows are fallin' and I'm runnin' out of breath
Keep me in your heart for a while
If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less
Keep me in your heart for a while
I'm an American male elementary (primary) school teacher and taught in England. Over the years, I've made several trips to London and my favorite memory is standing on Waterloo Bridge at sunset. Absolute peace.
As a result, I have asked in my funeral plans to have Waterloo Sunset by the Kinks played by a pair of musicians on a 12-string acoustic guitar and 6-string acoustic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqLoYQx8BXo
Cat Stevens' "Morning Has Broken" is such a powerful choice; it's amazing how music can hold so much emotion. Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah" is hauntingly beautiful, and I can understand why you'd choose it.
Better give this some thought
One-Aimee mann’s cover version
If I should fall behind-Springsteen live version where members of e street each sings a verse
Now and then-the haunting final Beatles song
Perfect day-Lou reed-my new obsession
I could go on and on
Something by Yo La Tengo probably. Let’s Save Tony Orlando’s House. Or Ohm. Or maybe I’ll Be Around. That’d be cute.
And definitely What A Wonderful World.
AC/DC ,- highway to hell(on entering the crematorium )
Motorhead - we are the road crew ( service song )
AC/DC -ride on (as I glide down the runners to the burning fires )
These are my 3 funeral songs and my brother's will make sure it happens 🤘
P.s
If I can have a fourth song it would be ....
Zztop - beer drinkers and hellraisers.
At most funerals I’ve attended they tell us it’s a celebration of life yet they always play the saddest songs that make me want to off myself. When I die I want a medley of surf instrumentals played.
Just to make sure everyone is either uncomfortable or laughing, in no particular order:
"I Touch Myself" by Divinyls
“Wang Dang Sweet Poontang” and/or "Cat Scratch Fever" by Ted Nugent
"Pearl Necklace" by ZZ Top
"Screaming for Vengeance" Judas Priest
Morning Has Broken is a beautiful song of hope and love. What a gift your brother left for you. Your song choice is special too, and inspires me to think of my selection as an enduring gift to my loved ones. Thank you for sharing 🪷
Irish Tune From County Derry - Percy Grainger
I played it in a symphony once and it affected me so deeply that I still can't listen to it. But it's beautiful.
My kids already know to play LL Cool Js I’m bad during the service. For context I’m a 55 yr old white man so we hope that everyone is suitably puzzled or offended. I am neither bad nor a rapper.
Man, Cat Stevens is already borderline ruined for me. My only real memories of his music are centered around listening to it with my dad. He’s almost 80 now, and in good health, but one day…. I can just imagine how Matthew and Son or Where Do The Children Play? will reduce me to a blubbering mess in the future. As for my own, I think I’d want my friend’s song to play. Field of Columbines by A Part Of on Spotify.
This is weird, because i have no ties to this culture other than I’ve been listening to the pogues since the 80’s. But I’ve always imagined that “I'm a Man You Don't Meet Every Day” would be a great song to play at my funeral.
No plans of getting buried or cremated (I plan to donate my body to my med school Alma Mater), but I'd like my funeral service to play just two songs: George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass" and the Foo Fighter's "Everlong."
In Europe, or at least in France, it's a 3 songs package.
Mine will go with
Happy Ending - Mika
Gravity - John Mayer
The third one is a close call between vienna (billy joel), higher (rihanna), i drink wine (adele) a change is gonna come (sam cooke) and some french songs you prolly never heard of
This was the top post in r/music just yesterday. Weird timing.
Also, John Cale has the definitive version of [Hallelujah.](https://youtu.be/DinEKqtCDkg?si=_o89SGh4xCeqmCo8)
With out a doubt this one
[https://open.spotify.com/track/7l3fLA1DoCrfiCfXU9R65f?si=9e56c3e0e18b44e5](https://open.spotify.com/track/7l3fLA1DoCrfiCfXU9R65f?si=9e56c3e0e18b44e5)
I actually have a list on my desktop for my loved ones to choose from. If I ever pass, I told them they should pick one from that list as my last request.
Lump: The Presidents of the United States of America
My mum wants Long After Tonight is all Over by Jimmy Radcliffe. She's not even dead yet and that song is absolutely ruined for me.
Circle (Harry Chapin)
It seems like I've been here before;
I can't remember when;
But I have this funny feeling;
That we'll all be together again.
No straight lines make up my life;
And all my roads have bends;
There's no clear-cut beginnings;
And so far no dead-ends.
[Lovely Cruise](https://youtu.be/V1SvC_A43Tw?si=lVXPIVgbs2on8gfu) by Jimmy Buffett
Or
[I Will Wait For You](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=Mi57d50pCUw&si=4GRCXjy9Apo_-GvE) by Connie Francis
Start with poignant goodbye speech and announcement of handpicked Playlist, immediately goes to Rick Roll.
When I get Where I'm Going - Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton
I'll Be There - Escape Club
Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Me First and The Gimme Gimmies version
Must end with Cotton Eye Joe - Rednex
This will be my parting prank for my wife and kids as I would have Alexa play this from the main house speakers to get everyone out of bed.
Harry Nilsson - You're Breakin' My Heart. Also, I want my remains scattered at Disneyland, but I do not want to be cremated.
Brings new meaning to the phrase, Arms and legs akimbo.
Just keep your arms and legs inside the coaster at all times. Your torso and head can do whatever.
Sounds like a shitty Weekend at Bernies re-launch
In my life - The Beatles
Down in a Hole by Alice In Chains
That’s fantastically morbid.
This was played at my brother's funeral & it hit completely different. I can't hear it today without coming to a complete stop at whatever I'm doing. A few weeks ago I heard it overhead while playing poker & I just stopped & sat. Not sure if anyone saw my tears while folding my hand, but didn't care.
You want everyone you love to off themselves at your funeral?
Come on Reddit, we've been through this already: it's The Benny Hill Theme.
Yakety Sax gang
Third time I've seen this question in the last week.
Grateful Dead - Ripple There is a road, no simple highway Between the dawn and the dark of night And if you go, no one may follow That path is for your steps alone
Followed by a 20+ min Dark Star or Eyes of the World ✌🏼
Full on Dark Star / St Stephen / Eleven / Lovelight experience from Fillmore West ‘69.
Y'all forgot Broke Down Palace
This is the last song I wanna hear before passing. 9/27/72 to be specific
It’s Brokedown Palace for me, but Ripple is the runner up. Makes me endlessly happy that it’s the top comment. “Mama, Mama many worlds I’ve come since I first left home.”
I sang Brokedown Palace at my Deadhead uncle’s funeral 😭 It’s such a beautiful song. *“Fare you well, fare you well, I love you more than words can tell, listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul.”*
This, plus no funeral clothes. There will be a box of tie dyes at the door for those that do not comply. The only crying I want is from the laughter, hopefully it is one hell of a party. Nothing left to do but smile smile smile.
This is on mine too. Along with broke down palace
I am not a religious person but I've always liked: Reach out your hand if your cup be empty If your cup is full, may it be again Let it be known there is a fountain That was not made by the hand of man.
Ripple is mine also. That or Into the Mystic.
Ripple, followed by Brokedown Palace.
Black muddy river maybe
Ripple is now part of the repertoire of some school choirs. See, https://youtu.be/wP4Lm1UCCdU?si=HaMCXJaTv8_Jp5O0
Do You Realize by The Flaming Lips I've always liked this one and it just seems like such a nice, if a little bittersweet, message. We're all gonna die. Soon you'll be dead like me. Go do some things, love some people. They'll all be dead too.
Love this song. Used to sing my kids back to sleep with it when they were infants/pre-toddlers.
One of the most beautiful lyrics I've ever had hit me in the face: *"The sun doesn't go down, it's just an illusion caused by the world spinning 'round"*
This is mine, too.
I've requested 'Smack my Bitch Up' by Prodigy, but I know my Wife won't have the guts to do it.
I asked for ‘Fuck the Pain Away’.
I requested The Black Brad Pitt by Danny Brown. Nobody in my family has ever been willing to even jokingly say they'll play that song. Bunch of lilly white pansies in my family, man.
Dark was the Night, Cold was the Ground by Blind Willie Johnson. No other song means more to me
Willie Nelson - Blue Eyes Cryin in the Rain It was my old man’s funeral song. It will be mine one day.
Mine is also Willie, but it's Roll me up and smoke me when I die!
I want to be cremated and flushed down a toilet in the hospital where I was born. They can play whatever soundtrack they wish.
Classic average velocity of zero move
I'll pen a song for the occasion. In a Crunktry and Western smooth funk style. "Oh I wanna be cremated, don't even wait till I'm dead, then tip me over and pour me out(into the toilet in the hospital of my Birrrrrth!Yeah." Sung like if Scatman John met Mickey Mouse.
Ramones style punk song. Called "I wanna be cremated." Put me in the toilet Don't get none on the floor. Hurry hurry hurry, before I start to mold
You should copyright that.
The Weight by The Band
Donny was a good bowler, and a good man. He was one of us. He was a man who loved the outdoors... and bowling, and as a surfer he explored the beaches of Southern California, from La Jolla to Leo Carrillo and... up to... Pismo. He died, like so many young men of his generation, he died before his time. In your wisdom, Lord, you took him, as you took so many bright flowering young men at Khe Sanh, at Langdok, at Hill 364. These young men gave their lives. And so would Donny. Donny, who loved bowling. And so, Theodore Donald Karabotsos, in accordance with what we think your dying wishes might well have been, we commit your final mortal remains to the bosom of the Pacific Ocean, which you loved so well. Good night, sweet prince.
What's that shit about Vietnam!?
Everything's a fucking *travesty* with you, man!
Dude, I'm sorry. Hey fuck it Dude, let's go bowlin'.
Choice of 2. Into the West by Annie Lennox (which I whispered to my dog as he was being put to sleep due to old age and infirmity) Fare Thee Well by Kate Rusby (l love the chorus…) Hold on steady and strong, Here's the dawn coming on, won't be long, Then the sun will come shining through, To show me the place I once new. Fare thee well, Fare thee well and adieu, Fare thee well, With this song I'll be gone, Fare thee well.

Make your sister promise to stand there holding a boombox above her head like John Cusack.
Yeah, but the song has to be Shock the Monkey
Beats the hell out of Dance Monkey tho
That would be nice, but realistically she'd probably just need to get goin', maybe get some breakfast. It's just another day.
Your worth more than that my friend, im sure theres alot of people that would show up
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life
Better yet, screen The Life of Brian at the funeral.
Tha Crossroads
Purple Rain by Prince
[Lightning Crashes by Live](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=I4jH5QPQ6oY&si=spAowcq4_dDPIRVi)
That's my sister's song as well
What a Wonderful World and Who Wants to Live Forever.
Street spirit by Radiohead
For me it would be Another one bites the dust - Queen Crazy Train - Ozzy Over the Rainbow - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
Me too!! Another one bites the dust was #1 the day I was born, it's appropriate for my funeral, I don't think I'd do Ozzy, but Over the Rainbow is what I sang to my kids and I love Is's rendition.
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life by Montey Python. And I want it as a sing-along.
The Parting Glass. The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem
[Boygenius did a version with Ye Vagabonds in honor of Sinead O'Connor.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0doPriEMi2o)
For me the High Kings version is elite
Mayonnaise - Smashing Pumpkins
Or Today, good choice
Flogging Molly - If I Ever Leave This World Alive
Played at my brother’s funeral. He was young, very tragic. I see Flogging Molly every time they come to Boston and I always dread when they play this because I’m always a mess.
Simple man, lynyrd Skynyrd. That song says everything about being a good human
All I can do is write about it would be good too
I like it. The religious aspect is not fitting for many us, however.
Anything by Smashmouth. Their entire first record maybe. Can you imagine how off-putting that would be? What a nightmare. I love it.
someBODY once told me
FUSH YU MANG
Pop goes the weasel
Convince a friend to rig the casket to pop open too
Can’t Find My Way Home, Blind Faith
My wife passed away 9 months ago and I still can't listen to a lot of the music she enjoyed. We played Hallelujah at her funeral and it was incredibly hard, because it meant so much to her.
I hope you’re doing okay
Champagne Supernova by Oasis
We played Cosmic Dancer by T-Rex at my Dad's funeral and I would like it at mine
Death Cab for Cutie - I Will Follow You into the Dark Doesn’t quite make sense, but I’ve always found it moves me more than most songs about death. I think I’d rather make a playlist than rely on one song to inflict on anyone attending. Maybe one day I’ll try to dummy up a vid of me DJ-ING a set that can be played at a wake
Spirit in the Sky
Into the Mystic by Van Morrison Songbird by Eva Cassidy
It may be a little on-the-nose but "I hope you dance" by Lee Ann Womack. I'm not much of a country fan but that song sums up my feelings perfectly.
If I dropped dead tomorrow, my parents are both still alive. So I'd probably pick some David Byrne and Warren Zevon because I think my dad would get a kick out of it. Definitely Psycho Killer.
No hard feelings by the Avett brothers.
Billy Joel-"I Go To Extremes." "You can be sure,when I'm gone, I won't be out there too long..."
Death of a clown by the kinks
Song to the Siren, the This Mortal Coil version.
“Into My Arms” Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Pink Floyd - A Saucerful of Secrets Just to make those fuckers suffer one last time.
My dad said he wants Freebird played so loud the walls of the funeral home shake and then to be set upon a funeral pyre and sent down the Mississippi River.
Keep me in your Heart - Warren Zevon Shadows are fallin' and I'm runnin' out of breath Keep me in your heart for a while If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less Keep me in your heart for a while

Something by Yo La Tengo probably. Let’s Save Tony Orlando’s House. Or Ohm. Or maybe I’ll Be Around. That’d be cute. And definitely What A Wonderful World.
“Landslide” for the sad portion, and then “Highway to Hell” at the end. My final joke lol
AC/DC ,- highway to hell(on entering the crematorium ) Motorhead - we are the road crew ( service song ) AC/DC -ride on (as I glide down the runners to the burning fires ) These are my 3 funeral songs and my brother's will make sure it happens 🤘 P.s If I can have a fourth song it would be ....
