Me? I want "Suck" by NIN just because the lyrics would make everyone really, really squirm. Strangely, that didn't make the list.

I'd want Pearl Jam's "Off He Goes" at my funeral.
Times Like These - Foo Fighters will be the song they carry me off to.
I would like Black by Pearl Jam to be played at my funeral...or, out of sheer irony, Alive.
"Angels" by Robbie Williams is actually a touching song. The perfect song for a brother who passes away is "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" by The Hollies.
Temple of the Dog - Say Hello To Heaven
If this were a Canadian list Sarah McLachlan's" I Will Remeber You" would probably appear in 10 of the 20 spots available…
Nice to see all the PJ fans
I whole-heartedly agree with all the PJ suggestions. Also for a newer song, Damini by USS.
The theme from Benny Hill. I'd have wires attached to my arms and legs and a friend hidden underneath pulling away.
Nothing I can do about it now. -Willie Nelson
I still prefer "Another One Bites the Dust" especially because it will be stuck in EVERYONE'S head for days to come
the jam- going underground
Indian Summer by Luna, Funeral by Band of Horses would have to part of the soundtrack
but the Momty Python tune is a MUST!
The The "Love Is Stronger Than Death."
