And at your funeral...

Thought I'd pick up the mood with a jolly topic: What tunes do you want played at your funeral?

Hear You Me - Jimmy Eat World
At Your Funeral - Saves The Day
11 AM - Incubus
Late For The Sky - Jackson Brown (cheesy )
and some more I'll think of later

Keeping it original : -


Samuel Barber - Agnus Dei (basically Adagio for Strings in choral) Adagio for Strings has been done to death, no pun intended

Antonin Dvorák - Symphony No.9 (From the New World) Second Movement (yes, the original Hovis tune )

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Requiem, Lacrimosa (hard not to say the entire works though...).
