It’s A Long Way To The Top maybe?
Why Me? an old song by Johnny Cash.
My wife’s cousin married a woman named Sally. She passed away. At her funeral, we were greeted with ‘Lay Down, Sally’.
As for me, it will have to be this Queen song:
No funeral. Just chuck my body in the ditch for the coyotes. If people want to make a cermony, then blast some obnoxious bullshit that i know everyone hates. Or maybe just 10 minutes of a blaring klaxon or some such.
For me, they can play Sam Hall
My idea is to have the funeral director separate the group into three: children, women, and men. The children would go outside where they could have ice cream and enjoy a petting zoo. Music: The Candy Man, Puff the Magic Dragon. The women would go to a room where they would each receive a red rose and listen to a video of me thanking them for civilizing me (or trying to), thanking them for their virtues, and lots of sentiments like that. Music: Wind Beneath My Wings, Thank You for Being a Friend. For the men, out of earshot, there’s a kegger with strippers. Crumblin’ down is a good start. Then there’s Let’s Go Crazy and since I plan on being cremated, Burning Down the House
The only thing about being cremated is that I kinda want a headstone so I can write, “See? I told you I was sick!” or something like that.
God Bless the USA it is!
For my ‘final departure’ on out of the Church after the service, either:
or
At the after-party barbecue?
You’re going to want to be at my funeral. It’s gonna be a f%^$ckin’ blast.

If you know me, you’ll know why.
Come to think of it, it would be fine to have an extremely short funeral service with appropriate music and closing credits to thank all those who made significant contributions to my life and times.
Bach’s Little Fugue in G Minor played on the synthesizer by Wendy Carlos.
Can’t find a recording of that online, but here’s something similar:
This reminded me, that I oughtta have 'em play Yakety Sax as I’m being hauled into the church, while they comically wind me through the pews.
Tripler
I want to be funny in the afterlife.
Add these to the list for my hypothetical funeral:
This one would work for me:
Please Don’t Bury Me:
Give my feet to the footloose
Careless, fancy free
Give my knees to the needy,
Don’t pull that stuff on me.
Hand me down my walking cane,
It’s a sin to tell a lie.
Send my mouth way down south,
And kiss my ass goodbye.
This one too is especially appropriate:
I adore Sarah Brightman! 
One of my favorites, Sam.
Suppose I should seek out something by the Beatles now.
Maybe “Golden Slumbers” would do.
mmm
I play the bagpipes and it would be nice if a piper could play at my funeral. Ideally as a minimum, the classic lament “The Flowers of the Forest”. Or “Hector the Hero”. The piper may play “Amazing Grace”, though I hope it would not be the only thing they played.
Username and song selection check out! Great choice.
While I don’t want a funeral, I’ve always thought this song would be a great choice. Flaming Lips: Do you Realize?
I’d just like a few people to attend…
I’d like to be a big enough deal that a large ensemble would play Siegfried’s Funeral March from Wagner’s Gotterdammerung. Best funeral march ever.
Damn your eyes!
Mine would be “Heaven” by Talking Heads.
