yes I know you won't be there to appreciate it but hell if this is your outro why the hell not go out with a song
For me
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
Whatever was most meaningful for my family. Funerals are for the living, not for the dead.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

I see funerals as for the living but I wouldn't mind if they played a little Heifetz at my funeral. Even better if I heard it while on my deathbed.

One of my uncles had the organist play Somewhere My Love as the recessional at my aunts funeral. I was doing so well tell I recognized the song, and then I lost it.

If I had to choose. I would prefer not to have a funeral at all honestly. I would rather just be cremated and have my family do whatever they like with the ashes. I would just want everyone to get together and have a party, honestly! The dead are gone. It's sad and it sucks but life goes on and I wouldn't want anyone to have some day of mourning for me that just seems silly.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love. Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll 
Ooh ooh that smell! Can't ya smell that smell!

I agree, funerals are for the living. Having said that, my mother and I have always had a mildly challenging relationship. Obviously part of this is me being an only child. But there are other issues revolving around my disability and her family life. But we've both tried over the years.
One thing we have always differed greatly in is our choice of music. Case in point, she is a big Bruce fan. I am, to put it mildly, not. However, there is a cover of Bruce that I love, by the band Low, who I like. I figure that might be a meaningful thing for my family to play at my funeral. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWIorQ_Fgxk But, it's their choice.
"For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." - Carl Sagan
 Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them. Impersonation is treason. |
