Never really had any thoughts on this subject before, but now you've mentioned it....
Mary Hopkins song... 'those were the days' …..which was sung along to at stadiums in the late 60s/70s. OK for the oldies!

In tribute to Peter Sellers who, according to Michael Bentine, had Glen Miller's 'In The Mood' played at his funeral because he hated the piece and could rest in peace knowing he would not be able to hear it:

The Birdie Song
'Saturday Night' by Whigfield
On The Ball City

Eulogy - Frank Turner certainly appeals.
My children insist that Einaudi's Il Giorni is my "death song", so wouldn't want to let them down

I'm in my mid fifties but most people think I'm a bit odd as I've already chosen mine.

Sound of silence. But sung by Disturbed, not the original by Simon and Garfunkle. The vocals at the end of the Disturbed version gives me tingles.

At my mum"s funeral last week she chose Bohemien Raspsody by Queen. Unusual as she wasn't into Rock, unlike me, and it mentions devils etc. I had to do the compulsory Wayne's World headbanging during the end section.

We open in eerie silence, pitch back, a little bit of dry ice...

The song is Ultravox "Visions in Blue"

Blue strobe flickers in the dark revealing various images of people and places.

Then about 1:50..... BOOM!.... it's a disco inferno with disco balls, over the top lighting and hired dancers.

Then back to the darkness. More dry ice.

Thank you, goodnight.

I was thinking of an Ultravox song. Maybe Vienna. But then again, it means nothing to me.

I insist on the 24 minute live version of Going Down Slow by Led Zeppelin. Works for me ( but not for anyone else, obviously).

Thought about this for years and decided on Joy Division's Decades, and also recently added Terry Jacks' Seasons In the Sun.

I can tell you that 'Fields of Gold' by Eva Cassidy is played at least 4 times a week at my local crematorium.
The best song ever to be played at a funeral that I conducted was 'Leave Me Alone' by New Order.

There was a similar thread a few days ago.

Mine are

I wanted to put Gimme Shelter and or Kooks in there but how many can you have?

I'm quite looking forward to it.

Disturbed's version of Sound of Silence is just brilliant. That would be my choice too, but showing the video of them singing it live at Download 2016.



The Vengeful One is also a great track, but perhaps inappropriate.

At the end, Raise Your Horns by Amon Amarth - again awesome at Download 2016.
