Inspired from a post I read on another thread, what 3 songs would you have playing at your funeral?

1. Going in

2. Middle

3. Going out

My children know I want to be cremated and have a bit of a weird sense of humour sometimes. I want; Amarillo, YMCA and My Way...... and no crying!!!

What are your choices? X

I've never thought of this before

I saw something on another forum once though, the poster attended a party that a dying man had organised, he had family all over the place so this was his last chance to see all of his family and friends all together before he passed away. The DJ unthinkingly played Another One Bites The Dust. Apparently he (the DJ) was pretty mortified but the dying man thought it was hilarious!

This was one I was tossing up between. I find it a heartbreaker tho and I'm not sure I want to upset people even if the words are poignant.

One last breath - Creed

Just Breathe - Pearl Jam

Forever Autumn - Justin Hayward

These would be on my "serious" playlist.

These songs mean the world to me and hit me in the feels.

I can't choose between these and my other list, so I'll have these and my other list at the fuck off fancy dress party of a wake.
