Songs at your funeral

[BluesGNR]

I had November Rain played on repeat at my father's viewing, final service, and funeral... as per his request. 

I hope for the same.

[MR.BROWNSTONE]

I would pick a Guns N' Roses song for my funeral. I don't have one picked yet because I hope that won't be needed for along time from now.

Hopefully not... I want an acoustic version of the blues played at my funeral, slightly modified.  Hopefully we get a version like that in due time

GNR-> Breakdown- everyone enters

November Rain as I'm being lowered

Coma-> As everyone leaves


--Nightrain---Never to return

Nice, I like that one

I guess the end of November Rain would be cool as the coffin is carried down the aisle, just like in the video

I don't really want people to cry at my funeral... granted I'm 21 and that's years away (i hope)... I'd try to keep it somewhat upbeat.

Queen - Who wants the live forever

Queen - Was it all worth it

Guns n'roses - Child in time

Who Wants to Live Forever is such a beautiful song.

For me, The Beatles-In My Life

IML is classic.  I just authored family videos to DVD and I used that as the song in the chapters... love it!

really funny that you started this thread

the article is from the biggest german gossip paper the BILD...  it says that a guy played knockin`on heaven`s door at his funeral and some more shit like that......  i don`t want to translate it, but you get the picture

[Mr. Dick Purple]

Those were the days of my life - Queen
Friends will be friends - Queen
November Rain - Guns N Roses
Helloween - Time
All dead - Queen
Who wants to live for ever - Queen
Infinite Dreams - Iron Maiden (where would I end, in heaven or in hell?)
The hidden track from made in heaven album by Queen when my coffin is getting down

In that order

fnny how you people would have GNR played at your funeral...

No one really knows what gnr music triggered inside my mind and i wouldn't want to have their music at my funeral because it would be like saying someone else knew what happened inside me and no one but me does...?

Lay me Low - Nick Cave

They're gonna lay me low (Lay me low)
They're gonna sink me in the snow
They're gonna throw back their heads and crow
When I go

They're gonna jump and shout (Lay me low)
They're gonna wave their arms about
All the stories will come out
When I go

All the stars will glow bright (Lay me low)
And my friends will give up the fight
They'll see my work in a different light
When I go

They'll try telephoning my mother (Lay me low)
But they'll end up getting my brother
Who'll spill the story on some long-gone lover
That I hardly know

Hats off to the man
On top of the world
Come crawl up here, baby
And I'll show you how it works
If you wanna be my friend
And you wanna repent
And you want it all to end
And you wanna know when
Well do it now don't care how
Take your final bow
Make a stand Take my hand
And blow it all to hell

They gonna inform the police chief (Lay me low)
Who'll breathe a sigh of relief
He'll say I was a malanderer, a badlander, and a thief
When I go

They will interview my teachers (Lay me low)
Who'll say I was one of God's sorrier creatures
There'll print informative six-page features
When I go

They'll bang a big old gong (Lay me low)
The motorcade will be ten miles long
The world will join together for a farewell song
When they put me down below

They'll sound a fluegelhorn (Lay me low)
And the sea will rage, and the sky will storm
All man and beast will mourn
When I go

Hats off to the man
On top of the world
Come crawl up here, baby
And we can watch this damn thing turn
If you wanna be my friend
And you wanna repent
And you want it all to end
And you wanna know when
Well do it now Do it now
Take a long last bow
Take my hand Make a stand
And blow it all to hell

Lay me low...
When I go...

There are songs that really describe the way I am and feel, and I really think that way GNR help in certains way of my attitude for some people think I'm kinda stupid, but for me is just how I see it and feel it.
I really want to people in my funeral hear and feel the way I used to feel in some days, I think Im gonna die old so theres a long way to my death

That is beautiful. I quoted November rain at a beloved patient's memorial service. I played LIVE and Let Die and DON"T CRY at the funeral I had for my feisty little Beta fish who had just happened to be named AXL. Sorry about your DAD.

KOHD or November Rain for me

[Gunna_girl01]

knocking on heavens door - GNR
Lightning crashes               - LIVE

originally wanted highway to hell but my family are christians 

[fridayfan13]

The Show must go on - Queen
Too Much Love Will Kill You -  Queen
Coma - GNR
There Was A Time - GNR


i have a few more ideas, but i like these ideas right now, especially the first two. there are two songs that have brought tears to my eyes -  "The show must go on" anyone that knows anything about queen should understand why, "Too Much Love Will Kill You" Performed by brian may at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Show.

[jazjme]

At my funeral, I would like  to hear(cause I will).

Seasons of Love-Rent, opening


And as it stands now-Better, at the end

and at the after party cause well I know in my fam we celebrate the life of those who pass, Id have all GNR blasting, and DREAM ON, near the end, and a tune I wrote Everyonce In a While.
