Nice to see you care.
No. On the Killing Joke forum, this was brought up, so I thought I'd ask NOOL'ers.

Good tunes,but your gunna have to lock the church doors to get all themm songs in..
I've always said "Ceremony"for my swansong when this question crops up
I was listening to Come Back by The Mighty Wah! sometime back and, strangely, decided it would be a great song for my funeral.Dunno why.Maybe it's quite celebratory, yet melancholic .And ironic in that i wouldn't be able to "Come Back".
The entirety of Stereolab's Dots and Loops album, looped over indefinitely. That is, until the cannon shoots my ashes out in a shrapnel canister, then it would have to switch over to The Kill, Warsaw-style.
Got to be SONG TO THE SIREN by THIS MORTAL COIL (Cocteaus). Epitaph:- "I told you I was ill!"
Dead Can Dance (no pun intended, really) "Seraphim" or any other of their majestic yet tragic tunes.

I know all about not sleeping. And I've had the waking up so scared you don;t want to risk any more sleep thing.
Oh and lacy, friendly advice....that Owens guy is BAD news. ok :)

Excellent song! First heard it watching a Steven King film, it came on and we all wanted to know what it was!
Personally, i want Joyce Simms - Come into my life (for a bit of irony) and Joy Division - Love Will Tear us Apart.
Doesn't matter though really, cos i'm actually immortal.
I'm gonna leave a playlist in my XMMS (like winamp but for penguins) for my wake. fuck one or two tracks :)
Haven't thought about songs yet, but I would dearly love to have inscribed on my gravestone, 'caught me at a bad time, so why don't you piss off'
I'll come back to the songs later...

You pinched my song!!! However, it was It's my Party and I'll die if I want to......... but never mind.
I'll have Smoke gets in your eyes instead. Or Knock on Wood.

last one from the listed above, maybe song to the siren too, or mayby somebody can play violin or clarinet live, hehe
I want "The Theme from the Magnificent Seven" and then The Walker Bros' "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore".
Naturally, I want to be placed in a longboat on the Trent, flag in paw, and set alight as I drift towards Valhalla (aka Burton).
Darth Vader's theme 
Real list: When I'm 64 (Beatles) Leave Me Alone (NO) Instant Karma (John Boy, solo) Should I Stay Or Should I Go? (The Clash) Goodnight Ladies (Lou Reed)
Of course, I'll probably change my mind before I actually die...seven hundred years from now :p
The Durutti Column - Pol In G, as the crowd gathers and All My Colours by the Bunnymen as my coffin goes to the furnace :)
"that box you gave me burned nicely"
Interlude - Morrissey and Siouxie Sioux Love will tear us apart Scientist- Coldplay
All songs I love but drive my husband insane. It'll be my funeral dammit, I get what I want!
There'll be a few.........
Ceremony
Book Of Rules by The Heptones
I'm Set Free by The Velvets
That Feel by Tom Waits
Stone Head by The Mekons
Find The River by R.E.M.
.........and Drink, Fight, Fuck by G.G. Allin

they have a exotic and haunting sound to them, it's the duo of lisa gerrard and brendan perry who were both formally trained in classical music. I guess they could be described as gothic, spiritual, and having a world-beat type music. Dark, sexy sounds- something that could be played at a funeral or during sex, and both of their voices sound ghostly yet sultry.
Passage in time is the greatests hit album and would be a good intro to dcd and my fav song is "severance".
^ Severance was the first song I'd heard of their's - fantastic and ethereal-like... someone told me it reminded them of being in a creepy old moldy cathedral.
Might be why I like it.
Of course, it's hard to listen to the Gladiator soundtrack, cos she's all over that, and I hear it nearly every time some epic movie comes out about battles and men in loincloths or the like.
