Song (or music) you want played at your funeral.

This is a variation on the "Favorite song" (or Classical composition) choice, as this title should in some way be related to mortality. Can you tell I'm approaching the end of mine? For me the choice is obvious; imo one of the three greatest songs I've ever heard (the other two being "What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted" and "No Time To Cry"): "God Only Knows", music by Brian Wilson, lyrics by Tony Asher, recorded by The Beach Boys in 1965. Light years above what anyone else in Pop music (or even Classical and Jazz) was doing at the time (or has done since), including The gd Beatles.

The final movement, adagio, to Mahler’s Ninth Symphony. Arguably, the greatest symphonic movement ever written.

....not particularly religious... but As its Sunday and got out on the right side of the bed.....

U2  "The Three Sunrises"

Spirit of the rising sun lift me up
Hold me there and never let me fall

Soon I will be loved...…

When I went to my Mothers funeral the reverend said- I'm going to play a song that was requested by Beatrice when she was still alive.
Then he motioned to someone to start the song, I had no idea what song she picked. Then i heard "I Have Friends In Low Places" by Garth Brooks!   Everybody chuckled as my Mother had cheered us up from beyond!
