of all the masterpieces within the metal genre, there are songs that would be perfect funeral songs. for me i would pick "Beyond the Realms of Death" by Judas Priest and Fagning by Windir are the two metal songs i would have played at my funeral. 1184 probably too. yeah, what about you guys? what would you want at your funeral?

EDIT: CHANGED MY MIND i want arntor played too.

Blind Guardian - And The Story Ends...

if this is stupid to some of ya'll, know that my second choice is Iced Earth - Watching Over Me...but im sure that's a couple of people's choice lol

Something by Summoning.

Probably "Like Some Snow-White Marble Eyes".

Really.

The Last In Line by Dio.
I think it'd be a good send-off.
----
Screams of pain and agony,
Rent the silent air.
Amidst the dying bodies,
Blood runs everywhere.
The figure stands expressionless,
Impassive and alone.
Unmoved by this victory,
And the seeds of death he's sown.

Definitely "Death Whispered A Lullaby" by Opeth. Even though that's probably pretty corny.

I have no idea, but for some reason ''Higher Than The Sky" by Rage seemed to be the first song that entered my head when I saw this topic! The lyrics just seem so fitting:

So, now my time has come,
I will be dead and gone
from the earth's face.
It is my destiny,
this time I cannot hide
from this cruel fate...

A never ending memory,
a life before my eyes.
Whatever comes, whatever's been,
a pocket full of lies.

Like an arrow in the air,
falling endlessly and I know we're gonna be...

Higher than the sky, we're
higher than the sky.

An ordinary flight,
who could imagine this
will be our death cell?

No miracle in sight...
We're diving faster now,
as far as I can tell.
I see the faces passing by,
there's fear inside their eyes.
They all will be my company,
brothers now for life.

Like an arrow in the air,
falling endlessly and I know we're gonna be...

Higher than the sky, we're
higher than the sky.

I'd have to go with harvest by opeth. A little sappy, but it's a great song.

Well, here's the soundtrack for my funeral:

Moonsorrow - Matkan Lopussa
Cryptic Wintermoon - Grave Without a Name
Lake of Tears - Homecoming
Nargaroth - Herbst
Marduk - Materialized in Stone
H.E.R.R. - Hopes die in Winter
Mithotyn - Old Rover
Viikate - Öljyvärejä
Timo Rautiainen & Trio Niskalaukaus - Lintu

..and pretty much anything from Summoning; Empyrium; Dark Sanctuary and Estatic Fear.

Feel free to check out some of those tunes: http://www.box.net/shared/90cwojooos

...or who knows, maybe it's better to stick with some fun humppa or punk-rock instead ? (well. suppose, it doesn't matter, i'll be dead anyway.)

I think it would be Enter the Church of Fornication by Anorexia Nervosa. The organ passage at the beginning would scare the shit out of everyone.
