What song would you want played for your funeral?
Here's the one for me:
Always loved The Mamas and The Papas!
Haley Reinhardt has a really good cover of this song too!

@Dida ummm, yeeeaaah. I have that effect on people, in a non-creepy way of course 
@Dida ...not professional...just sang in choir for years. But, I love music and unusual music the most.
@Dida no...my posting was only the name of Demis Roussos, 'Goodby my love Goodby,' HeyHIHullo, posted the video for me!
@Dida Nope, not the singer, just sharing videos of what others like. Brighten someone's day.

This! lol
Perfection!
Quite a popular choice
Did you know that certain churches actually ban this at their funerals?
Apparently here in the Uk it is one of the most popular songs played at crematoria - which may or may not have religious ceremonies at the time.
Another one bites the dust- Queen ( got to keep my funeral happy and lighthearted ) I need my people to laugh

I will write my own song. Something danceable and very ungodly. But I will like only the "real salsa dancers" to dance it the first time played. After that... what do i care? I am dead.

This is controversial at least among my friends (both theists and atheists) but it's my honest answer: Anarchy In The UK by The Sex Pistols.
The first line starts with 'I am an anti-Christ'. My Catholic family would have a problem with that in a Catholic church (They would have it there and there's not a lot I can do about it).
The real reason for this choice is I've always been a lover of punk rock and I just love the song. I have told people: I won't know if you have this played but YOU WILL!

Jnei:
Good choice. I might have "Reality Asylum" by Crass. In which case, my funeral would have to be in a church, just because it'd be so much fun to have that song played in one.
Or the folk song version....
The angel and heaven references notwithstanding, I'd definitely go with John Prine's "Please Don't Bury Me." And it would be at a memorial celebration or wake--if any of my drinking buddies manage to outlast me.

Love John Prine.
I don't care about the song, I just want Morgan Freeman to read the eulogy.

Never in any way thought of myself as a princess - but I've always loved this piece ;
"Pavane for a Dead Princess" , by Ravel. for the teary part.
For the cheery part - "The Time Warp" from Rocky Horror Picture Show - with everyone dancing !

A cardboard coffin because "you can't get the wood you know"
I was raised on them, I'm always quoting them, good to meet another fan! "they're firing their guns at us, they must have run out of bullets!" I've got their recordings on vinyl, I inherited them from my father.
I don't really want a song played at my funeral, but if I had to pick:
-
Summer, Highland Falls by Billy Joel
-
Hard Times by Ray Charles
-
Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
