Genesis - 'Seven Stones'; timed so the Mellotron coda comes in just as the curtains are closing at the crematorium. If that doesn't get everyone blubbing, nothing will.

I love the topic and I'll post again my Playlist for the Death Party:

In my case there would be a whole concert

For starters (not by order):

The apostle in triumph & To bid you farewell - Opeth

Dogs - Pink Floyd

Travel in Stygian - Iced earth

299 796 Km/s - In the woods

The Dead Flag Blues - GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR!

My Kantele (acoustic version) - Amorphis

As I die - Paradise lost

Monolith & Wheel - Anekdoten

Afterglow & The musical box - Genesis

Starless and bible black & Fallen angel - King Crimson

Empty Words - Anathema

Trapped in a corner - Death

Sleeping Village & Warning - Black Sabbath

I'm sure I forgot some...

Now to bands names because I haven't decided yet on which songs:

White Willow, Wobbler, Kaipa, Tool, Anglagard, Arena, Atoll, Maxophone, PFM and many more...

I can't wait.....

I'd have a good freind of mine sing "Song for a dead Freind" off of Thud by Kevin Gilbert followed by "An Immagined Affair" by Elbow, just change the she's to He's, I think it would be good. Hmm... Wish You Were Here seems a tad bit too corny and obvious for my taste.

Being hopeful about eternal life, I guess I would choose "We Have Heaven" by Yes.

I'm curious, how do you people know death sucks?

I would probably have "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper. Seriously

By the way, i'm a guy

Not a prog song but, Zepp's version of 'In My Time of Dying' would work.
South Side of the Sky?
maybe Starless is better...
or just blast YYZ

Ahhhh,Kevin Gilbert's song from Shaming of the True would be a good one.

Nice choice

"Never the Same" by Echolyn

Never The Same"
[Lyrics by Brett Kull]

WWhat can I say?
What can I do you for you?
Some are here for but a moment
Then are taken in an instant to eternity
Remember life and what's been shared with you
That you have shared

It's funny how we feel closer
With the ones that we love
When they're farthest away
You can feel them so near
Just 'round the corner the memory still clear

"Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there I did not die."
I say to you I will see you again
On the other side someday


"There's never endings only discovery,"
I tell myself over and over again
Some leave their mark in our hearts then go

It's hard to continue onward
When forever comes down it comes down so heavy
Too final to forget
You've got to believe there's something more

After the song is over
The dance goes on, so dance away
When all is said and done
Remember what's been given, not taken away
But you struggle and you strain
As the undertow pulls you down


The years will spare the rod and soften the hardest blow
...but I am never the same
With time comes a certain fading and erasing
...but I am never the same

In each man
There lies a start that has no end
A means to be more
A light that shines in its own special way


Left with cold distance
I'll always be with you
We weather the cycle
I'll always be there
So fragile to balance
Too potent to harness
Life charges past the mortal in man

Remember all the life you shared every day
There's never any endings
...but I'll never be the same
