Songs to play at your funeral

[Nico]

Old subject I'm sure, but it's always interested me. Which songs would you want played at your funeral? Take into consideration emotional value and nostalgia (even though you'd be dead for it )

My Dying Bride - Black God
Opeth - To Bid You Farewell (yeah yeah)
Astriaal - Glories of the Nightsky

And depending on how I died, possibly the whole of Suicidal Emotions by Abyssic Hate (fuck off you mongrel fucks, go whine about it elsewhere).

 

[Crimson Velvet]

Bathory - Hammerheart


It moves me...

 

[Phrozenspite]

My Dying Bride - For My Fallen Angel(haha I bet the violin aspect of it will have everyone crying)
Brahms - Symphony #1 in C minor
Bathory - A Fine Day to Die

To all that I will kill"
