Great choices all. Are you getting them put into a loop, or just played once?

Anyone putting a video of scenes from your personal life to the music?

yeah i thought of that the first two songs define in a way who i am ( or was )
the casablanca song is for memories my wife and i share as to when and how we meet
the never walk alone song is a football song ( soccer ) and the companionship i shared with others who enjoyed the sport with me

In A Gadda Da Vida! by Iron Butterfly.

Long song, but awesome at the end.

I have a few, which I would play on a loop before the service as guests arrive:

St. James Infirmary Louis Armstrong and his Hot Five
My Way Frank Sinatra
Danny Boy Frank Patterson

I would then want them to play When the Saints Go Marching In as my coffin leaves the church:

Maybe this one ... "Hitch a Ride" by Boston

"Gonna hitch a ride
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sun lights another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time
Oh yeah ..."

Mine will be Christian hymns, as part of a traditional Lutheran funeral, with sermon, readings from the scripture, prayers etc.

One of the hymns will be "I know that My Redeemer lives"
The others I'd choose would be "Chief of Sinners though I Be"
And the last would be "Holy God, We Praise Thy Name"

I plan to be buried in a casket with a headstone with my wife and handicapped son.
