Following a post by @stokefc on a different thread about what song/songs he would have played at his funeral, I thought it would make an interesting thread. So here it is, post what song/songs will be played at your funeral.
Here's one which will definitely be played at mine. The words "...the world is a bad place, a bad place, a terrible place to live......but I don't wanna die..." should have everyone in tears
I feel that songs played at funerals should convey your feelings about your life and / or a message to those you leave behind so mine have already been chosen for the occasion and are as follows.
