    "I've Had The Time of My Life" by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes

    "Wonderful World" by Ray Charles

    "Wind Beneath My Wings" by Bette Midler"

    "I hope You Dance" (cannot remember the artist' name)

    "Amazing Grace"

    No services, just a short visitation with these songs played in the background and then cremation. I want my children, family and friends to go home and have a celebration, drink a few and tell funny stories!

    I have to say it: I don't like this thread because I once had a friend who told me that if he ever died he would like to hear this particular song played at his funeral. Then he killed himself.

    Not that I think it should be removed, or that it is a bad thread. It just made me really afraid for the lead poster.

    hey sparkplug, i'm fine, what spurred this topic was , i'm getting over a bad bout of pneumonia, and last time i talked to my kids on the phone my ex got on and asked me who's going to pay to bury me w hen i die since i dont have him anymore..

    i didnt have an answer but it got me thinking a bit morbid...

    I can't light no more of your darkness
    All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
    I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
    Frozen here on the ladder of my life

    Too late to save myself from falling
    I took a chance and changed your way of life
    But you misread my meaning when I met you
    Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

    Don't let the sun go down on me
    Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
    I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
    But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

    I can't find, oh the right romantic line
    But see me once and see the way I feel
    Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
    But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal

    I want "My Way" played.

    I want everyone to know I did things and lived my life "My Way".

    I didn't look it up, but I think it's Shania Twain.

    I've told my husband and daughter that I want "Good Riddance" by Green Day and "I Can Only Imagine" (by various contemporary Christian singers) ...... two totally different kinds of songs, I know. After reading the posts, I also love the sone "Cool Change" by Little River Band....I may have to consider that one, too.
