   So many serious songs...geez.  I suppose if I had to play serious music, it'd be Magma's K.A.  That way I'd still have some element of mystery about the occasion.

	Oh jeez. I hadn't thought about a funeral song but I do have a multi-hour long playlist that I want played in my hospital should I ever go into a persistent vegetative state. It's primarily composed of optimistic and hopeful songs with a tinge of bitterness. Then the final song is "Supper's Ready" and the plug gets pulled at the climax coinciding with the sunrise of the day (provided there isn't sufficient cloud cover to obscure the view of the sun). We were told everyone should have a living will in one of my classes last semester so I had a bit of fun with it.

	I would start off with some appropriate songs, but then right at the end have them play "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow" or "Valley Girl" by Zappa just to lighten up the atmosphere.

	"Spirits" by Pallas. Even has bagpipes. Oooh...might have it segue into "Fragments of the Sun." That would be awesome.
	My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

	Haven't given it much thought really, but one song I'd like to be played (I'm amazed noone has mentioned it yet) is Soon by Yes.

	If I'm going to be cremated I guess 'My Ashes' by Porcupine Tree would be a good one. Other appropiate ones would be: 'Afterglow' by Genesis (good post-cremation theme) 'I Talk to the Wind' by King Crimson (good for when the ashes are being scattered) 'Posthumous Silence' by Sylvan (says it all) 'Vital Signs' by Rush (for bit of ironic humour) 'Goodbye Cruel World' by Pink Floyd 'Another One Bites the Dust' by Queen I think the ultimate one to show that a funeral is a celebration of someone's life rather than a commemoration of their death would be 'Living Thing' by The Electric Light Orchestra

	Well, my send off should be dark, damp and scary, as befits a proper funeral . So, Agalloch at the cementery would be great. Anything from the Mantle should do fine. But when people are leaving I want "On the road to find out" by Cat Stevens to be played. That's to remind them that they are still alive with a great many adventures before them (and not to scar(e) anyone for life). I really like the film "Harold and Maud", that's why funerals and Cat Stevens are irrevocably connected in my subconcious.
