She's married now, y'know.
Talking of inappropriate, how about Madonna's "Burning Up" whilst being cremated?

I think the whole album The Bends could work for a funeral. I started listening to it every day when a friend of mine died almost two years ago. I made blog about what songs I wanted at my funeral, but I'm too lazy to go back and look. Or maybe I'm not...http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=12102063&b logID=42195199 |

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. ![]() |

I can't pick out funeral music right now. Maybe sometime later when I'm feeling melancholy.

Tom Waits-Come on up to the House. It should considered a hymn.
I think Sunset Rubdown's Us Ones in Between would be good too. |

I know this may sound stupid but I think The Doors- The End would be a cool song. Long, a bit melancholy, but also awesome to listen to.

There's an ancient Simpsons episode where Homer is singing this whilst preparing to jump off a building. Just thought of another - Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds' "Your Funeral, My Trial". A genuinely wonderful song, and gloriously inappropriate.

![]() I could have Mr. Cave playing but I wouldn't want to ruin him like that, by thinking of any of his music as funeral music.

First something really sad (maybe some sixties' love song or something similar), then some bollywood stuff to shock and entertain people.

It would depend alot on how I actually died:
Natural Causes: Philip Glass/John Cage- Metamorphosis 1 from Glass Cage. Suicide: I'll Be Your Mirror- VU&Nico (a haunting little fuck you) or Pissing in a River- Patti Smith. |

natural causes- all of the silver session followed by deerhoof's "holy night fever" and "the diamond sea".
or.. raw power.
