I was thinking about this the other day actually. I mean the standard is to have a service, some nice soft songs, wear black, and that's about it.
How would you like your funeral to be conducted? What songs? (i realise there is a thread on just this facet in music + dj's) What location? Buried or cremated, or something else? Wear black or something else?
Myself, I think I would rather my funeral be thought of as a farewell/going away party than a funeral. Like, I think i'd still like it to be in a cathedral, but i would like people to dress up nice as if for a party or dinner, and to chat and laugh among each other. I would like the whole funeral to consist of music and stories and relections on great times we had all had together. I think I may have songs like 'Angel' - Sarah McLachlan (tried + true funeral track i know), 'diabla' (funk d'void's heavenly mix) - funk d'void, maybe a Tool or APC track....
buried i think, but maybe that might change as i get older....and yeah after the funeral at the 'wake' it'd be dj's, dancing, drinking, pilling and all the activities that get people to open up and just laugh and cry and party....
Sounds good....too bad I won't be able to join in
So, what's everyone else's ideas?
