I want the 'Passing of the Elves' also known as 'The Elvish Lament'from The Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring as my casket is wheeled out. On my headstone it is going to say 'What a shame Brian, now you'll never get your chance' I think it s good to be prepared, less for the grieving left behind to work on. |

I'll have to think about this one for a while. I love the old staple, "On Eagle's Wings," but I like the way you guys think - something upbeat. Funerals are for the sake of the grieving, not the deceased.

It's stunning! It's a great song for the living and the dead. |
