I had a friend who wanted to play Iced Earth's "Watching Over Me". Cheesy, but I think it would be nice.

Arks Burn The Sun, it started by interest in metal, it might aswell do the same to the people attending.

I think these would be suitable for my funeral:
Agalloch - Kneel to the cross [Sol Incubus cover]
Agalloch - This white mountain on which you will die
Agalloch - The misshapen steed
Eternal Tears of Sorrow - The river flows frozen

but what's this man...lets have something brOOtal trv...a depressive black metal band come and sing and they would sacrifice a goat and let its blood overflow over you coffin

The best one is in memoriam by hammerfall

I´m imagining all the presents in the funeral doing headbanging and "air guitars" hahahahaha

SAVATAGE - SUMMER'S RAIN

Written by Edmund Fogg on 22.04.2010 at 02:15

I would die with ValhallAwaits Me by Amon Amarth...Yeah That would be awesome

yeah, that is a good one.

but once my body has been hacked irrecognizeably, there has to be some kind of viking funeral.

At which, either "Fade To Black", "A Tout Le Monde", "Song To Hall Up High" or "Hammerheart"

Oouh Thet's right after there is still a funeral...well it's a classic but my funeral song will be Wasted Years by Iron Maiden

Bathory - One Rode To Asa Bay.Awesome song.

We All Die Laughing - The Angelic Process
or
Waking Every God - Pain of Salvation (just cause i really like that song haha)

...in the mist by Shape of Despair, what better than a slow symphony of doom to escort me to the bright light, or not.

Dope - No Regrets - My Funeral - 2010

AC/DC's Squealer...
Actually, that's totally inappropriate, but I love the instrumental. So, I'd say some Exodus song. "A Good Day to Die" would be morbid, but funny.

It would be dumb to choose

If I Ever Die - Candlemass

since I'm already dead

Fade to Black

SAVATAGE - SUMMER'S RAIN

A good choice, I would happily go down to Savatage. Though I may make a slightly different choice.
Savatage - Morning Sun
or
Savatage - Strange Wings
or
Savatage - If I Go Away
or
Savatage - Summer's Rain

I would be happy with any one of these

I would somehow like a medley of fade to black/a tout le monde

Well, to be honest I plan on being dead at my funeral so it doesn't matter to me in the slightest. However, I am an asshole. So, based on that fact, I would either have Green Carnation's "Light of Day, Day of Darkness" or Edge of Sanity's "Crimson" played. I only wish I could be alive to watch everyone in the pews looking at their phones and watches waiting for the song to end...

Well, after being buried in a plywood box with a smiley face painted on front with X'd out eyes (with a automated thumper inside that would start banging on the lid as the casket was being lowered) I would play:
-Memento Mori, by Kamelot
-Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin
-Runes To My Memory - Amon Amarth

As the Wolves Howl Again - Enthroned
Trailed by Fire - Deströyer 666
The Soul Must Sleep - Primordial
To Die in Glory - Graveland

Chimaira- Implements of Destruction

Shores in flames by Bathory.. The intro is amazing

A funeral usually lasts for quite some time, so I think we need more than just one song. Here's the list:

White Pearl Black Oceans by Sonata Arctica
Poet And The Pendulum by Nightwish
Abandoned by Kamelot
Pull Me Under by Dream Thearer
Follow The Reaper by Children Of Bodom
Beyond The Realms Of Death by Judas Priest
The Perfect End by The Kovenant

Lol, i probably wouldnt have a metal song for my funeral (just doesnt work), but i would have Floods - Pantera.

Instrumental Here:

Vast Oceans Lachrymose by While Heaven Wept

epic, sweeping, and unforgettable.
bonus points if it can be followed by Epilogue.

Metallica - To Live Is To Die

It has got this ballad part, that will make everyone at my funeral cry like a child.

I love the Misshapen Steed, great choice, but not White Mountain, too much distortion.

After just listening to Misshapen Steed then, i would have to say it is now mine. No vocals, just great keys and violin that sets an eerie calm atmosphere. It's a pity Pale Folklore was recorded so badly.

If you haven't heard it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUwoVqw5XoI

Cemetary Gates - Pantera would be pretty awesome.

Heaven & Hell might be a good closer.
