I've got a list of about 10 songs, all referencing fire, burning or going to hell - some of which are quite funny.
It's meant to be thematic as I'll be getting cremated and as I'll be dead, I will care little for what comes after (for me, oblivion, hopefully ). I know my sister (the really religious one) will be there and these will piss her off (I'm pretty up-to-here with her holier-than-thou convert piousness) because I'm mocking relgion. So will my instruction for the mourners to wear whatever colour they feel good in (clownsuit optional*).
My friends will get the joke.
*My sister told me once (before a family funeral) that I HAD to wear Black to it (I was a teen at the time - I HAD no other colours anyway) and my response was "Damn, my clownsuit is in the wash."
As long as she doesn't get to choose any of the songs, I'll be fine. If she puts Mariah Carey's "Hero" onto my funeral playlist, I'll come back and haunt her.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.
That is not dead which can eternal lie ...
... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

Nah, Bruce is fine, I mainly meant for that song, but occasionally he seems to over shoot some songs. Like "The Talisman" IMHO. Still, awesome song though.
As for other songs, maybe Hammerfall's Glory to the Brave too

May the the blessings of His Grace the Emperor tumble down upon you like a golden fog. (Only a VERY select few will get this reference. And it's not from 40k. )
This song. Good god, these songs. It goes hand in hand with the best moment of my life. Walking around at 3 in the morning, light snowfall, and street lamps, with this music playing and not another sound to be heard. Just stood there in the middle of the road for a few moments, taking it all in.
I'd like to think my funeral would be held under similar circumstances.

I know that I want Dragonforce - Trail of broken hearts played at my funeral.
Possibly some Amon Amarth just to know that people would suddenly hear Johan Hegg growling at them and they would all gak themselves

Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
Let's Go!
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/o/ozzy+osbourne/crazy+train_20103982.html ]
I've listened to preachers
I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role
Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words
Yeah
Heirs of a cold war
That's what we've become
Inheriting troubles I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I'm living with something' that just isn't fair
Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

The Turret Opera from the end of Portal 2. Such a beautiful song. Who knows, maybe Ellen Mclain might sing it herself.

Hmm... On a serious note, it really depends how vindictive I'm feeling towards my audience. It could range from Change and Themata (Karnivool) to something typically funerally (churchy songs).

Just for fun, three songs by Alice In Chains. Not only for the fitting names and lyrics but also because Layne Staley has, in my opinion, the best voice to come out of the 90s.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Also, how does one apply to be a member of the Ultramodrines? Are harsh trials involved, ones that would test my faith as a wargamer and resolve as a geek?
