I'm not trying to freak anyone out! But it just occurred to me, that there's definitely a song I want played at my funeral, even though I won't be there. It's called, "I Have Decided To Follow Jesus." What's your's?
P.S. If you're athesit, keep it to yourself about my pick!

"I Can Only Imagine" - by Mercy Me
I think it is an absolutely beautiful song!
and "Amazing Grace" - I have loved that song ever since I was a kid & I can't imagine not having it too!

This is interesting!
(Personally I will stick to Amazing Grace).
Top 10 Strangest Funeral Songs
So much for "Amazing Grace" or an age-old hymn sung to a melody composed by Chopin or Bach and played on a majestic pipe organ. Loved ones who are planning funerals today are opting for rock music and electric guitar riffs, according to a new poll of more than 45,000 people across Europe that was conducted by the digital TV station Music Choice.
Why? Music is part of our popular culture, and families like to play something they associate with the deceased. London's Times Online reports that the trend to choose popular tunes over classical music at funerals has been growing since the 1960s. So instead of "Abide With Me," the congregation will stand and join in a rousing version of Queen's "The Show Must Go On." Alan Slater of the National Association of Funeral Directors told the Times Online, "We live in a much more secular society, and as a result we have seen a change to music content at funerals."
The top 10 favorite funeral songs in Europe:
Queen's "The Show Must Go On"
Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven"
AC/DC's "Highway to Hell"
Frank Sinatra's "My Way"
Mozart's "Requiem"
Robbie Williams' "Angels"
Queen's "Who Wants to Live Forever"
The Beatles's "Let It Be"
Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters"
U2's "With or Without You"

Choosing the music that will be played at your funeral is a way to express your personality one last time. "Wanting to share your most treasured musical gem with those you're leaving behind is the perfect way to sign off and leave a lasting impression," Music Choice music and marketing manager Simon George told the BBC News.
Call it the last song you'll never hear.

I'm not freaked out at all...
it's actually good you thought about this... better have a way to go that will leave imprints in peoples minds... right?
I actually thought of passing hand-out of lyrics to everyone at
my burial and while I'm being buried they'll sing
"I'll be Missing You" (every breath you take) by P. Diddy
yup the rap thingy...
I don't want people to cry... I want them to "Celebrate my Life."
I actually thought of scheduling a Family Reunion on the day of my burial since in my culture we throw a big party at a restaurant / hotel or hall right after the burial so might as well have DJ's and dancing... LOL
My mom just passed on and I arranged a program
with Slideshows, Singing (chorale) and people participating in remembering her life. It was a great way to HONOR my mom.
