Leeds

As my casket is carried out by six hunky Firemen....I'm in the mood for dancing.

Reason is because it's a catchy tune and I'm always in the mood to dance....

Have always said It Must Be Love or One Step Beyond by Madness to be carried in to and either Light My Fire by The Doors or Smoke Gets In Your Eyes as I'm taken down to be cremated or Going Underground by The Jam if I'm buried.

Body is going to organ donation and medical science. No funeral, just a fancy dress party.

Cheesy 80s

A load of rock

Last song to be played....

In the flesh by Pink Floyd.

They lyrics will make people think "for fuck sake woman, can't take you anywhere!" and hopefully raise a giggle or 2.
