Re: What music for your funeral?
Two candidates:
-"Voice in the Dark" for the big send-off I love the idea of sending the mourners off into the night with this song resounding in their ears.
-"Lone Pilgrim," the traditional spiritual. I came to it via Bob Dylan's exquisite version, but I think Tom Jones's recent version might be better suited for the occasion.

Re: What music for your funeral?
Having had a major and life threatening event three years ago I have given this some thought. Ultimately I would like to go out to the strains of "Tomorrow Never Knows" by The Beatles. The thought of turning off my mind, relaxing and floating down stream seems enticing to me and equal to what I imagine the process of dying to be in reality. I would love that seemingly peaceful transition into 'nothingness' which I hope will be my future and final encounter with death.

Re: What music for your funeral?
Green Song or Birds will Still be Singing are the obvious choices....might go for Tramp the Dirt Down to be a contrary old git.
