    Hey, you just reminded me...what a beautiful song that would make for a funeral..."There are places I remember all my life, though some have changed...Some for better, not forever, some have gone but some remain...all these places have their moments, with lovers and friends I still can recall...some are dead and some are living, but in my life, I loved them all" (hope I remembered it right) I'll go and look it up.

    I don't want a typical sad bunch of people in a church funeral, a death should also represent a celebration of life, not just a death. I want to be creamated, and spread wherever it is I decided was my favorite place to be by the end of my life.

    Starting off with Do you realize by the flaming lips.

    Then O Death by Ralph Stanley.

    Steal my Body Home - Beck
    then immediatly after
    Free Four - Pink Floyd

    Our House - Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young (My mom and I used to sing this all the time when we were younger, if she's still around when I go, I want her to think back to those days)

    Tears in Heaven... I know it's the most common, but damn it's the best and worst to hear at a funeral.

    One Step Beyond
    - Madness (of course)

    Then end with a single scruffy voice singing a modified version of Bob Dylan's Meet me in the Morning, with "6th and wabasha" replacing "56th and wabasha" 56 and wabasha doesn't exist.... but 6 and wabasha does, and it's in my home state. If people decide to go their, they'll be greeted by large red letters spelling out "I LOVE YOU"
