You will miss me when I burn

[Elphinstone's Army]

I trawled the headings for funeral music/songs and found one from 2007, which didn't feel right to resurrect,

as it had naturally laid itself to rest, so here is a new one, and hope that no one is put out.

As I am destined for the fiery furnace, my choice of song is Soulsavers, with the sonorous voice of Mark Lanegan, joined by the ethereal voice of Red Ghost, representing the spirit, with You will Miss me When I Burn, and to make sure everyone is suitably mollified, as they leave the crematorium sobbing, Barber's Adagio for Strings.

However, if my children defy me and I am in a coffin, I want the Stones 'Can't you hear me knocking?'

You seem to be a bit preoccupied with death today.

[Elphinstone's Army]

hello Otta, it isn't just today !

This is a mood, triggered by waiting at the bus stop outside the Coop funeral directors, absorbing the dullness of it all, po faced men in tall hats and cliched rhetoric, whilst musing - this is a rites of passage for us when a loved one dies, and further musing - why isn't it more spectacular?

Anyway, I thought the last line of my OP was really funny.

I am never going to die, I am only going to fade away.........

Planned my playlist years ago when certain things seemed to indicate I was due an early bath:

If I have to go - Tom Waits

Hey that's no way to say goodbye - Leonard Cohen

Rainy night in Soho - The Pogues

Chopin Etude #3 in E major

.. then a bit of Loudoun wont go amiss..
