I chose the music at my mum's funeral last week. 'Jigsaw Puzzle of Life' by Kate and Anna McGarrigle, and 'Carey' by Joni Mitchell, cos those are things she liked. Slight oversight that the second verse has loads of stuff about drinking wine to inebriation, and she died of drink. I picked it for the 'I really hate to leave you but it's really not my home' bit. Oh well, pissed off my stick-up-the-ass Roman Catholic relatives hopefully.
At my own funeral? I wanna be buried in the woods, so there won't be anywhere to plug music in. Maybe if someone brings an Iiiipod. 'Die in Terror' by the Residents.
