I want my funeral to be a party too, but my dad was 81 and he didn't leave any requests, was old fashioned, so will be old fashioned, I guess.

I have already told my daughter that I want to be cremated and what beach I want my ashes scattered on.

Guess it is a generational thing, we are thinking ahead, our parents didn't think that way.

Funny you should mention that one Image- my
brother said they liked "Knocking on Heaven's Door" and he wants it played at the funeral. So guess it will be played.


That's cool.

This is another good one, and if I ever die, it's getting played at my funeral too...

Goo Goo Dolls-"I'm Still Here"

...that's all me and the song will remind everyone at my funeral of every memory of me.

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
there will be an answer, let it be.

Jon Bon Jovi and Jennifer Nettles-"Who Says You Can't Go Home"
Incubus-"I Wish You Were Here"
Brad Paisley-"Ticks" (I remember her and I know she'll be there)
Sum 41-"My Heart Will Go On"

I just rather nobody cry at my funeral. I'd rather them be smiling, laughing, and having fun.

This is how everyone at my funeral will and has always seen me...
