What music would you have played at your funeral?

The music from Dig Dug, as they lower the coffin into the grave.

My partner was informed a while back that "Do You Realise?" by The Flaming Lips is to be used. It reminds you about the finality of death and where we stand in the grand scheme of things, yet it is also really quite upbeat.

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize - we're floating in space -
Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry
Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun don'-go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

I'm so lazy that more than one person has suggested the importance of being idle by oasis.

Arvo Part : Tabula Rasa .. followed by a sine wave that morphs into white noise over the duration of the cremation.

Followed by a bit of chaz'n'dave for the punters to exit to.

"Hell in a Bucket" by the Grateful Dead - doubly apt as I want to get cremated

"I Went to Sleep" by The Beach Boys. Lazyest song. Ever.

Yeah. That'll do, boys. That'll do...

That's a great song, took me ages to find the OST, but the first track was worth it.

I think "The Dimming of the Day" by Mr. Gilmour at Meltdown would do it for me, I love the last verse:

I see you on the street in company
Why don't you come and ease your mind with me?
I'm living for the night we steal away
I need you at the dimming of the day

Either that or "Coming Back to Life" from Meltdown
