My choice would have been "Many Rivers to Cross" by Jimmy Cliff. But Wild Horses, Innocent When you Dream, etc were great.

It may not be a perfect song, but I think I would like to go to Aenima by tool.  Actually anything by tool or APC would be fine with me.  Lake of Fire, covered by Nirvana would be cool too.

"Here Comes The Flood" by Peter Gabriel. If you don't know it I suggest you listen to it (The studio version). It's a beautiful song.Another song that I thought about is "Keep Me In Your Heart For A While" by Warren Zevon. It was from his last album when he knew he was dying. Kind of appropriate I thought.

I always thought that "Hill Of The Skull" by Joe Satriani (Surfing with the alien) would be a cool song for my funeral...  When they take my casket out the church.  My girlfriend doesn't want to know it, hear it, or anything.  It freaks her out. http://www.satriani.com/2004/discography/Surfing_With_The_Alien/

The first time I heard it was in the end of the movie "Smoke" when Harvey Keitel was pretending to be the criminal grandson of the elderly blind woman. Love that song and it was the perfect way to end that show.

I do not find many Satriani fans around. I loved that album.Best song to die to?Free Bird by Skynard.Just something about that song makes me think of being able to be free and released from our 'mortal coil'. Hell it even starts off with the lyrics "If I leave here tomorrow....would you still remember me?" If that is not a setup for a funeral I have no idea what is.

I would choose "Something I Can Never Have" by Nine Inch Nails or "The Pusher" by Blind Melon because it is ironic and beautiful. Though I could name a hundred songs that make me want to kill myself.

In a 'Moonlighting' episode (we used to play a drinking game to it in college), Bruce Willis is having a dream he is being executed and when asked if he's got any last requests, he says he wants to hear the live version of 'Dazed and Confused'.My personal choice for a song would be 'Arc of Space' by Bruce Dickison from the Accident of Birth album.

I thought it was supposed to be one song?  Alright.  MOTORHEAD...NO SLEEP TIL HAMMERSMITH.  The entire album...for the simple reason that I don't believe one could lose consciousness while it's being played at any volume approaching loud.  I believe it could possibly prolong life.  Consider Lemmy.  He has gone 3 weeks without sleep.  Maybe they should pump some MOTORHEAD into those coolers containing transplant organs as well.
