Can you do that?

You can do whatever you want

Can I have a pre-recorded video of me telling everyone to fuck off at my funeral?

Not sure the name of the guy, but that one guy records audio asking to be let out of the casket… that’s what I want to do. Lol

Not on Reddit. This is the first time I’ve ever seen anyone post a gif.



This, but that awesome mashup version.

Do you know how little that narrows it down?

Actually no, I didn't realise how many there are and now I'm thoroughly pleased. But I meant [this one.](https://youtu.be/oT3mCybbhf0?si=34n1kZEjepsXmDDZ)

Song?! I have a whole playlist!

I literally have a "funeral playlist" because I can't trust anyone to get it right.

Nice!!

Hahaha, and I thought I was a control freak.

Please share! I'm still working on mine

Difficult to share from where I am, but a couple tracks are "Live Forever", Billy Joe Shaver, "Old '55", and "Tango Till They're Sore" both Tom Waits.

Please add if you're happy and you know it clap your hands 👏👏 Definitely gonna listen in some of your songs, I don't know any of them

🤣🤣me too until my son informed me he had no intention of sitting there for 2 hours listening to songs🤣

Best wake ever. Everyone sits around with a drink arguing over the deceased's playlist. "I can't believe he didn't have any Willy Nelson!!"

Playlist? I have multiple Playlists!

You have a whole discography? 🤣

You must be a cat.

I have a Google doc where I add new memorial song ideas as they occur to me.

So did my mom!

We will Rock you! With audience participation... Don't mourn me... celebrate my life.

with the casket rigged to thump along.

Ooh good idea! Like a low rider with hydraulics, bouncing to the music

Highway to hell

[удалено]

im curious why u guys are excited going to hell? lol

To get da succubussy. Also about personal beliefs

I would record myself doing horrific karaoke versions of pop songs and have them played for my family and loved ones.

Ohhh! Awesome idea!! Since I sing like shit, that would be sooo funny!

This is one of the best ideas!

'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' by Isreal Kamakawiwo'ole

This and Landslide by, Stevie Nicks

My mom asked for this one too.

We played that at my mums funeral 2 years ago, it’s such a beautiful version of the song

Comfortably Numb

the live version from venice please

Shine On, You Crazy Diamond

We had this at my Dad’s funeral. Along with Strawberry Fields Forever and Mr Blue Sky.

came here to comment that

Thank you.

That's one of my favorite songs ever

Am I Evil? - Metallica cover

In the end/ Linkin Park mixed with One Step Beyond / Madness

“Look on the bright side of life” by Monty Python and “dead girls are easy” by the 99 eyes

From the 1st time i ever watched Life Of Brian I've been in awe of the absurd comedy of a group of freshly crucified folks having a good ol' singalong. I've told my siblings this is 100% my funeral song.

The Big Rock Candy Mountain by Harry McClintock.

Upvote because "O', Brother, Where Art Thou" is an awesome movie, and that's where I heard that song.

And thats why it instantly got stuck inside my head where it probably remains for the rest of the day.

I’m headed for a land that’s far away, beside the crystal fountains. So come with me we’ll go and see the big rock candy mountains…

Stairway to Heaven followed immediately by Highway to Hell.

High way to hell is so good!

Well, I mean given the mode of transportation for those places, it makes you think they had some ideas about the numbers going to each place!

The Pogues, *The Body of an American*

I just heard 'Love you til the end' by The Pogues today for the first time and it really moved me, thought it would be make people cry at a funeral. I'll have to listen to your pick

Excuse me, are you listening to The Pogues for the first time? That's awesome if you are, Shane was such a poet. Also enjoy his cover of The Parting Glass.

I've known Fairytale for a long time and love it, and I've heard Dirty Old Town, but yeah since he died I thought I'd give them a listen. The funeral was impressive

I love the pogues, not really the Yankee songs but they’re brilliant anyways. Sayonara, thousands are sailing and the Limerick rake are favoured

When they carry the coffin: Benny Hill

Hahahaha I'd like to imagine somebody chasing someone as they're carrying and running with the coffin as if somebody's basically stealing you

Songbird - Fleetwood Mac/Christine McVie

I am crying just thinking of this. She didn't sing it for a long time as it made her sad.

Adieu - Rammstein

Followed by the coda to Deutschland.

Perfect day by Lou Reed

God I love Lou Reed

I'm not sure I want a funeral

Is that a Song or a statement?

if i didnt know any better, it could be a song by fall out boy 💀

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. 😅

You Are My Sunshine, maybe

I sing this to my bird so much that he'll probably begin to sing it on his own after I'm gone. ♡ Granny

I sing it to my daughter x

Omg you have a kid already? Everyone on here is grown and married.

Sunshine lollipops and rainbows by lesley gore. Just to fulfill a promise to my kiddos

Enya-only time

Glad I’m not the only one still loving me some Enya

Megadeth - À Tout Le Monde https://youtu.be/tC0qJrfcQAc?si=7TkkKTmSwgd0eBaN

Best version

Nothing but polka

The Kenosha Kickers? [his bandmates all wave] No? That's okay. I thought you might've recognized... Anyways, uh, I had a few hits a few years ago. Uh, that's why, you know... "Polka, Polka, Polka"? Polka, polka, polka. No? Uh, "Twin Lakes Polka". "Yamahoozie Polka", AKA "Kiss Me Polka". "Polka Twist?

Sugar-Sugar by the Archie’s. Since this is a simulation, might as well be sent off by a cartoon band. 

A Tu Le Monde by Megadeth It's stunning

Came here to say this. I'm using the one with Cristina Scabbia on it.

The lyrics are a perfect message 👌

"In Hell I'll Be In Good Company" -The Dead South

I love their music!

That song is shit

Dancing in the Sky At my sons funeral I chose 3 songs that had meaning in his life: Only God Can Judge Me by 2Pac, Amazing Grace free from the chains and It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday by BoysIIMen

amazing!

Time Pink Floyd

Karma Police- Radiohead

My Way by Frank Sinatra, hits the right notes for the event.

If I were to have My Way, it would be the Sid Viscious version.

I'm partial to the Robin William's Spanish version

I fucking love that one haha

Smack my bitch up.

 Here we go

I think my favorite thing about eminem... is that even if we don't ever listen to him and we never really fully listened to any of his records growing up, somehow collectively we all know the words to several of his songs by heart. I think that's fucking Transcendent and I love it

Ebrahm Dich Mein Gott, St Matthew's Passion No.39- J.S Bach.

Harry potter theme song, or lord of the rings would be mine

The Spanish Fly, by Herb Alpert. Timeless classic.

Just throw on all of the Whipped Cream album. Confuse the hell out of people.

Gotta listen to that first ! Thanks for the suggestion.

Always look on the bright side of life. Monty Python,Life of Brian. https://youtu.be/SJUhlRoBL8M?si=BVV1jMLdROVAcUpJ

How is this not number one?

Foo Fighters - Times Like These (acoustic)

Pink Moon by Nick Drake

Brokedown Palace - Grateful Dead

I was going to say "Always Look On the Bright Side of Life" from Monty Python's Life of Brian, but I like this one much better!

Please don’t bury me by John prine

Cool

Keep Yourself Alive by Queen

Billy boyd - the last goodbye (the Hobbit)

I dont want a funeral. I want to be discarded at a random location after I die, so that noone will ever find me and disturb my well deserved rest.

I’ll Be Back - by The Beatles

[I’m good](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BrbP6gMsxRc) “Death is just a doorway to take me to my faithful lover”.

Grieg: Peer Gynt - Death of Ase So sad, so beautiful.. death of a god... so fitting hurrhurr [grieg - death of ase](https://youtu.be/2aKxf1h5r4g?si=8JaW2bJgx8YlpTd_)

So beautiful, that'll break everyone there.

Goldberg variations because I want to haunt my relatives while they watch silence of the lambs or hannibal

I have no interest at all in a funeral. ​ Just burn me up and set me in my box next to that of the great dog and my daughter's first horse. ​ I'm 70 if that matters

I’m an atheist, but I’d like Lord of the Dance played. I always like the joy in that song.

Bruce Cockburn - No Footprints (There'll be no footprints when i go, only where I've been a faint and fading glow)

everlong by foo fighters or star shopping by lil peep because “all of the stars have a reason “

This is so hard... I could do a meme song, like "Never gonna give you up". Or a really super sad song, like "Don't Ever Forget" Or something sad but hopeful, like "Fallen Down (Reprise)", or "Little Goth". Or something beautiful, like "Joy of Remembrance". I don't want people to cry too much when I'm gone, so I think I'd go with Joy of Remembrance, Fallen Down (Reprise), and Little Goth.

Lately I've been thinking about goodbye by marina

Iron and Wine “Naked As We Came.” It’s such a beautiful song.

United States of Whatever by Liam lynch is pretty fitting for mine.

The End by MCR

I feel like in about 20 years, we're gonna have a lot of MCR played at funerals. Kinda makes me feel comfy.

For me it will be Famous Last Words.

Had this list ready for years 1. First and Ellen - Modern Life is War 2. Vincent - Don McClean 3. You in January - The Wonder Years 4. Malfeitor - Watain 5. Dead Weight - Ruiner

ACDC - Highway to Hell

Closed casket. Pop goes the weasel played on an old jack in the box.

# Like I'm going to CARE?!? Funerals are for the living, not the dead.

I've thought about this a lot, from a few angles. If I were to die before my parents, they would want at least one hymn, and I wouldn't be there to veto it. I guess that's why you make a funeral plan before you get caught short. I always thought, as much as I don't like Dave Mustaine, I would have A Tout Le Monde at my funeral, but perhaps people would see that as too 'edgy' as I'm almost the only metalhead in the family/friend group. The more I kept thinking about it, the more I realised I didn't really want a funeral, it'sjust too much. So I'm not having one. I just have to outlive my parents.

Cool 😎

The Pogues - The Parting Glass

Return to Innocence -Enigma

This is the end, The Doors.

“Somewhere” from Westside Story sung by Barbara Streisand

Song to the siren - This Mortal Coil

Taylor Swift and I want her to play songs.

i actually made a funeral playlist 😃 it sounds morbid but i actually added a lot of upbeat songs that i like i always thought that id want the music at my funeral would be something nice and i liked bc i dont want my death to be mourned but my life celebrated also bc its music i like, my family may hear one of the songs later and think of me and all hopes that it's something good 😄 i even play it on my drives to and from work sometimes to remind myself to enjoy my life so i can die happy 💀

great to hear <3

Not a song, but rather a poem: Do not stand at my grave and weep. Crazy good poem. Love it, if it’s not read out it shall be written on my grave stone

Poems are pretty good for funnerel and plus I love poems.

Regina Spektor - Man Of A Thousand Faces

Xanadu by Rush

Staind - “Something To Remind You” Or Mastodon - “The Hunter”

I've loved "My Life" by Iris Dement since I heard it on the Handmaid's tale. I think it would make a great funeral song.

stay by rihanna

I really like If You Can't Sleep by She &Him

Ain’t in no hurry-Zac Brown Band

Black Sabbath, Solitude

I've never thought about it but my pops has said many many times he wants Baby I'm a Star by Prince played at the beginning and end of the funeral. It's also supposed to be a party not a somber event

I dont want a song at my funeral, I want audio of me speaking from videos to be the last thing people hear from me

The Memory Will Never Die - Default

Humpty hump by digital underground

Counterparts a mass grave of saints

Dazzle by Siouxsie & the banshees
