The godfather theme. That would give the funeral a classy feel and besides it's my favourite movie. |
ahhh... that would be nice... but don't forget to pre-hire a
couple of hulking goons with sunglasses and microphones in their ears
to complete the experience.. when you have to go...go with some
style...

good choice... and thought of that myself... but I know Becks would
veto it and substitute some Celine Dion in it's place... she doesn't
not like that album..... Traffic she can stand... she likes
Stevie Winwood.. she thinks he has a cute ass...

Which Prog Rock track would you like played at your funeral when it's time for the Grim Reaper to play his part in life's journey?
Would you let the congregation suffer with a 30 minute epic or would you let them off lightly with something shorter?
Personally, I would love to have 'Awaken' by Yes played at mine. It's somehow quite fitting with an amazing finale and would have me in Prog heaven ecstasy looking down on all my friends and family!

I sincerely hope that you will be able to get past your depression.

 Okay then, I'll play nice -- imagining I actually am going to subject all and sundry to something from my prog collection (that rules out Sparks: "Up Here in Heaven," unfortunately  ), then perhaps the instrumental " Spectral Mornings" by Hackett.
You get references to both endings (ghosts) and beginnings (mornings) in the title, and the music has a fittingly melancholy, nostalgic mood (and a sweeping grandeur in keeping with what will have been a life of truly "epic" qualities, no doubt ).
Hackett's majestic guitar sound on this one is the very epitome of "progressive rock," for me. One of my all-time fave prog tracks. 
I find it sad and uplifting at the same time. (But mainly the latter.)
Turn it up so I'll hear it, okay? 
PS: Not prog, but may I please have the final movement of Handel's Water Music (English Concert - Trevor Pinnock) too? I'd like it after the Hackett -- it will cheer everybody up a bit, & it's also the grand, joyous conclusion to one of my all-time fave pieces of music.
Final farewell/"internment" to be at dawn high atop a cliff overlooking the seas of my beautiful, rugged island home, please. Tots of Demerara all around (to be imbibed the moment the sun rises out of the waters). Perhaps a line or two of poetry now -- Byron or Shakespeare would be fine.
Make sure the wind is blowing out to sea when you release the ashes, Tony, and Jim, a black feather boa would be acceptable.
Go have a few pints now -- it's noon somewhere!
(sad topic!)

 There's nothing like a bit of forward planning.

People would be rolling in the aisles while the rest were crying. Awesome idea. I may consider that one myself.

I would play Point of Know Return by Kansas, Free Four by Pink Floyd, as well as Atom Heart Mother by Pink Floyd, Supper's Ready by Genesis, and Tarkus by ELP and Lament by King Crimson.

Hardly -- you'd be dead, you silly sod! Or didn't you get that part of the deal?
(Better to book a DJ -- then our Garten can dance o'er your grave.)

Moody Blues "The Balance." Everybody should know that it's okay, and not be too sad.
