    Default Funeral song

    We just watched the chanel 7 news and we were amused sort of.
    They showed the funeral of the mother and her 2 children drowned in the flooded river and guess what song they were playing.
    I am sailing.from Rod Stewart

    Seriously, I've been to many funerals where the music was a real celebration of the person's life. I'd happily have any, or all of them played when I kick the bucket. Much better than the dirges that are often played.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    I want to listen to all that while I am still alive, even on the death bed maybe but once I am dead, what does that matter?!

    Just want to be able to be sure that I am fully brain dead before they can throw me to the sharks.

    This part of a funeral is the thing that I hate most at a funeral. I really don't get it, why there has to be a song at a funeral. It's not a party, I don't care how sad or jolly the song is, I just don't think there should be any song at a funeral.

    LOL, I'm sure it could be argued that quite a few of us on this Forum already qualify in that case

    (Yes I did say "us", depends who you ask)

    If the university accepets my body, they can play whatever the f*ck they like. It won't bother me....
    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

    Yes it can be a "party" celebration to celebrate the death of a friend/family member or legend, it's in the ideology of the funeral Wake,
