I think I would try to include these songs at my funeral:
For Good and Defying Gravity- Wicked
Larger than Life and My Favorite Year- My Favorite Year
(I just love those songs lol)
Never Gone- The Backstreet Boys (lol)
To Where You Are- Josh Groban
Skyborne Music (one of my choir songs this year)
Somewhere Out There- Linda Rondstat and James Ingraham

Till We Reach That Day from Ragtime....my first musical. That song means so much to me, I would get so emotional every time we sang it on stage

I'd want something so upbeat and unexpected that people would laugh before they realized what was happening.
That being said I'm not entirely sure what.
I also want to have a huge smile on my face and thumbs up in my coffin.

My friend told me, many years ago, "When I die, I want to make sure that you come to my funeral and play a recording of the theme from 'Roly Poly Olie,' just so no one gets too goddamn serious."
I'm holding him to his word.

"The Song of Purple Summer" (Spring Awakening)
"In Remembrance" (A beautiful choral piece I sang at All-State chorus)
That's all I can think of off of the top of my head, but I'm sure there are more.

OMG I love that song it is so good when we sang it I felt like crying everytime I sang "Oh God my God why hast thou forsaken me." Each person that was in my choir was asked to think of someone they new that died from cancer and sing that song for them! It was so good I would love to hear a recording of that preformance do you have one?

It was so intensely emotional for everyone involved. That is the best part of the entire song. Our conductor actually knew the composer personally and told us the story behind the song, but unfortunately I can't remember it exactly. I know it involved someone dying at a very young age though, and it was very depressing.
Here's the recording: http://www.esnips.com/doc/9ffa4d1f-7192 ... memberance

Sounds cheesy, I know, but I sang For Good at my Granpa's in Canada just after Christmas. I think I'd have someone sing that.

Well........if I was to have one(I attend to just have my body to be sold for science) I'd have the Grand Finale from Edward Scissorhands.
