Funeral music

Post #36,444 by orion 4/24/02 7:14:37 PM Reply	Funeral music Not that I have any plans, but if I do happen to die I don't want that corny background music they usually play at funerals. I want some classic rock and roll songs that deal with death. Like: "Another one bites the dust" "Knocking on Heaven's door" Etc. Anyone have any suggestions so I can get a CD created and then put it in my last will and testiment to play at my funeral should it ever happen? *I am free now, to choose my own destiny.*

I suspect they don't get any airplay due to song length(two of my favs, Dominion and This Corrosion, come in at 7:01 and 10:55 minutes respectively). Orion, you can find some MP3 samples of their songs on their site, including the suggested When You Don't See Me.

Post #36,734 by orion 4/28/02 9:50:56 PM Reply	I'd rather have my ashes shot into space, but that costs too much. Anyway I am not sure if I should be cremated or imbalmed. Which way do you think will be less painful if the corpse can still feel pain and just not react to it? Is the last thing to go the dead person's brain? Or does the brain die before the heart stops beating. My religion tells us that the dead will be raised again when Jesus comes back. Will ashes come back in a new body, or just alive in ashes form? Or the imbalmed come back alive with imbalming fluid instead of blood? I imagine we all get new bodies or get the rotting bodies repaired. *I am free now, to choose my own destiny.*

If you make it 2 days in the reefer, hauled accros somewhere for the church service then sent on a conveyor belt into a furnace, and dont get up and go home, chances are you wont feel the burn. If you do ya dont feel it for long. As far as the resurection goes, ask questions after you die, you answers might be better. thanx, bill TAM ARIS QUAM ARMIPOTENS

It is a masterpiece of pianissimo brass playing - but with emotional interpretation beyond his apparent age.

I won't be hearing any music when I'm dead (and hey, that's a damn fine reason for being alive, I reckon) so they can play what they like. On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.

Since I have never seen many of my friends, just communicating electronically, from BBS to Compuserve to Internet over the years, I'd call that somewhat appropriate. Famous last RPG quotes: "I'll just shoot this fireball down the dungeon passageway..."
