Plan your funeral: Who will speak and what song will be played

[LynneSin]

Ok, it's a morbid topic but a fun subject. But imagine that we can plan our future funeral to our like.

Who would you like to eulogize you at the funeral
What song would you pick as your "last song"
Who will give you your last toast at your wake
What interesting things would you plan for your wake?

ME:

My Eulogy would be given by former president and peace activist Jimmy Carter who would eulogize how I gave much of my time back to the community and to the peace movement.

My song for my funeral would "Ramble On" and "What is and What Should Never be" by Led Zeppelin. I would like all my Led Zeppelin Vinyl to be buried with me because in heaven that is the only and BEST form of media to play our music.

I would want my funeral short and sweet and the wake to last all night long. I want everyone to say a final toast, my favorite toast: "As Lynne's mother always said as she was growing up in the hills of Perry County - FUCK 'EM ALL".

5. "I think I'm paranoid" by Garbage

That's the last song.

Could care about the rest.

6. I don't want a funeral

I want a New Orleans jazz party/parade/wake. I don't care who speaks or what music is played, as long as people are enjoying themselves and hopefully are able to say (at least) a few kind words about my life! A celebration of the life lived, rather than mourning the death of the body.
