What songs do you want to have played at your funeral?
I mostly want happy music played. I want my funeral to be more like a going away party. I don't want people to be sad (even though I know they will be), I want them to think "wow, Linda was cool, let's celebrate her life." So here are some songs that I want played:
1. Joey Ramone's cover of "What a Wonderful World"
2. "Over the Hills and Far Away" by Led Zeppelin
3. "In God's Country" by U2
4. "One" by U2 (the version with Mary J. Blige)
5. "We're Here for a Good Time" by Trooper
6. "Knocking on Heaven's Door" by Guns N Roses
7. "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC (just for kicks-the fact that I would request this song to be blasted out of the church halls at my funeral would make all my friends laugh).
8. "Spirit in the Sky" - not sure who does it

Go ahead and add these in your will. There was a time when people laughed, sang, played music and talked about the good times with the departed - it's called a Wake.
