I've already chosen mine and there's no argument, they're written into my will!

As they carry me in to the crem it'll all be somber and I'll have "Who wants to live forever" by Queen.

Once I'm a crispy critter and everyone's heading off to the pub for a couple of pints on my tab I'll have "Always look on the bright side of life" by Monty Python :)

All My Tears be Washed Away, Emmylou Harris

[video=youtube;XFeopombykE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFeopombykE[/video]

When I go don't cry for me
In my fathers arms I'll be
The wounds this world left on my soul
Will all be healed and I'll be whole.

Sun and moon will be replaced
With the light of Jesus' face
And I will not be ashamed
For my savior knows my name.

It don't matter where you bury me
I'll be home and I'll be free
It don't matter where I lay
All my tears be washed away.

Gold and silver blind the eye
Temporary riches lie
Come and eat from heaven's store
Come and drink and thirst no more.

So weep not for me my friend
When my time below does end
For my life belongs to him
Who will raise the dead again.

It don't matter where you bury me
I'll be home and I'll be free
It don't matter where I lay
All my tears be washed away...

When the willow bends towards the end of day
And twilight falls again
To the funny sound that a blackbird makes
Twilight falls again
As no good reason remains, I'll do the same
Thinking of you
One day a ship comes in, one day a ship comes in
But I can't say how or when
But I know somewhere the ship comes in every day
There is no morphine, I'm only sleeping
There is no crime to dreams like this
And if you could take something with you
It would be right
Something good
From my fingertips, the cigarette throws ashes to the ground
I'd stop and talk to the girls who work this street, but I got business farther down
Like one long season of rain, I will remain
Thinking of you
One day a ship comes in
From far away a ship comes in
One hundred days you wait for it
And you know somewhere the ship comes in every day
There is no morphine, I'm only sleeping
There is no crime to dreams like this
And if you could take something with you
It would be bright
Just like something good
One day a ship comes in
One hundred days you wait for it
Something bright
Something so good
One hundred days
A ship comes in every day
You know it's good
You know it's good
A ship comes in every day
One day a ship comes in
Its good
When it's something good

In the woods if possible.
Well aren't we maudlin today? This isn't a song, it's a poem. But it's called "Song". It was written by Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830-1894). She was part of a very distinguished family but by all accounts life didn't treat her too well.

When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember,
And if thou wilt, forget.

I shall not see the shadows,
I shall not feel the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on, as if in pain:
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
Haply I may remember,
And haply may forget.

Me?
the birdie song.
everyone has to wear bright colours, no black allowed.
Plus everyone has to do the dance when it's played.
All this is in my will.
