> I have been reading a book that includes some information about funeral songs. Apparently, the most popular song played at funerals in Britain is "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston.
...this is viewed as an appropriate song to mourn the deceased? O_o
> And, according to crematrium records, songs such as "Wish Me Luck as You Wave me Good bye" and "Happy Days are here Again" are quite popular too.
...egad.
> And that got me thinking; What would I like played at my funeral? It's not something that I generally like to think about, but I think I'd like to have a say in it.
I have a feeling I won't have a say in anything related to my funeral, if my aunt is still alive when I pass away. She thrives on control, and she's the only member of my family likely to be left when my time comes. (Unless the future holds a family of my own in store for me, which at the time being I can't see happening, and don't really want, but you never know.)
> If I have enough money, I'd like to be jettisoned into orbit and burn up about re-entry to David Bowies "Ashes to Ashes"...;-)
Interesting. :)
Hmmm...I think something like "Radical Dreamers" would be a good song to be laid to rest to. (If any of you have completed the Squaresoft game Chrono Cross, you know the song...)

Hmmm. Maybe "Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead"? =D
