What song do you want played at your funeral?

Tonight my wife surprised me by telling me she had a new song she'd found
that she would like played at her funeral. "This Old Road" by Kris
Kristofferson.

Even though I had never thought about it before, the song I decided that I'd
like played came to me instantly. "Mr. Blue Sky" by ELO.

It's one of the songs I know that brings back memories of a relatively happy
time in my life. I was young, healthy, a non-smoker, still had all my hair,
and was in the Air Force with a cushy job where I'd work five days of 12
hours, then had nine straight days off to play table tennis and disc golf.
Often, when I'd drive my El Camino to the disc golf course, that song would
come on the radio and it would just pump me up to just relax and have some
fun.

Other songs I'd consider:

Forever Autumn (not sure of singer, but one of the Moody Bliues guys) from
about the same time frame and for almost the same reasons.

Return to Pooh Corner (singer also eludes me at the moment for some reason)
because that's the song I'd sing to my kids at bed-time when they were
younger.

Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. I don't know why, I just like it.

Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. It would creep my friends out but I
like it too.

I've always liked the idea of having "Keep on Loving You" by REO Speedwagon

(BTW Frisbee, Justin Hayward was the "Forever Autumn" singer)

I agree. I'd like "Inna Gadda Da Vida" ~ Iron Butterfly

And they better leave in the drum solo!

There's no way to know where we are going.
Is it raining is it snowing?
Is the grim reaper mowing?
