  I'd love to have a proper choir, like the ones who sing in cathedrals.

  This needs a certain mindset to appreciate the words in the context of one's funeral but I quite like the idea of playing this:

  Brain Damage/Eclipse
  
  Although I think sometimes funeral songs are a bad idea because from that day on anyone at the funeral will associate that song with a funeral which isn't ideal really. Especially when it's a classic combo such as the above.

  After all the fights that I have witnessed in familys over funerals I decided I would write everything down, Im also re-writing my will. My taste is rock so I was thinking Stairway but its probably been done to death... pardon the pun
  
  I would love a piper to play Highland Cathedral... but its only me FFS ... its not like its a state funeral

  Denez Prigent & Lise Gerrard - Gortoz A Ran - J'attends
  
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7HKktNbUCQ
  
  Breton lyrics:
  
  Gortozet ‘m eus, gortozet pell
  E skeud teñval tourioù gell
  E skeud teñval tourioù gell
  
  E skeud teñval an tourioù glav
  C’hwi am gwelo ‘c’hortoz atav
  C’hwi am gwelo ‘c’hortoz atav
  
  Un deiz a vo ‘teuio en-dro
  Dreist ar maezioù, dreist ar morioù
  
  ‘Teuio en-dro an avel c’hlas
  Da analañ va c’halon c’hloaz’t
  
  Kaset e vin diouzh e alan
  Pell gant ar red, hervez ‘deus c’hoant
  
  Hervez ‘deus c’hoant pell eus ar bed
  Etre ar mor hag ar stered
  
  English lyrics
  
  I was waiting, waiting for a long time
  In the dark shadow of grey towers
  In the dark shadow of grey towers
  
  In the dark shadow of rain towers
  You will see me waiting forever
  You will see me waiting forever
  
  One day it will come back
  Over the lands, over the seas
  
  The blue wind will return
  And take back with it my wounded heart
  
  I will be pulled away by its breath
  Far away in the stream, wherever it wishes
  
  Wherever it wishes, far away from this world
  Between the sea and the stars
