Question: WHAT song do you want played at your funeral!.!.!.and why!?
Answers:
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad passing away!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.
I would pick "Keep me in your heart for a while" by Warren Zevon because it would remind my family that I am still with them in spirit even if I was no longer with them in person!.
He wrote the song when he was dying of cancer in 2003 for his family!.

Shadows are falling and I'm running out of breath
Keep me in your heart for a while
If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less
Keep me in your heart for a while
When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun
Keep me in your heart for a while
There's a train leaving nightly called when all is said and done
Keep me in your heart for a while
Sha la, la-la-la, la-la-li, li, lo
Keep me in your heart for a while
Sha la, la-la-la, la-la-li, li, lo
Keep me in your heart for a while
Sometimes when you're doing simple things around the house
Maybe you'll think of me and smile
You know I'm tied to you like the buttons on your blouse
Keep me in your heart for a while
Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams
Touch me as I fall into view
When the winter comes keep the fires lit
And I will be right next to you
Engine driver's headed north to Pleasant Stream
Keep me in your heart for a while
These wheels keep turning but they're running out of steam
Keep me in your heart for a while
Keep me in your heart for a while
When my great grandmother passed away the songs that brought me comfort were "Here Comes the Sun" by Nina Simone and "Songbird" by Fleetwood Mac!. My parents used to play those for me when I was little, and they wrapped around me like a blanket during my grief!.
I'll post the YouTube videos here!.

She was in her late 90s, and so we played gospel songs rather than modern ones!.
I sang the Lisbeth Scott verison of "Be Still My Soul!."
The day of the funeral I listened to Johnny Cash's "Satisfied Mind" over and over again, and anytime I felt like I was going to breakdown when I was giving the eulogy I took a moment and played the song in my mind!. It gave me tremendous peace because she was someone who left the world with a satisfied mind!.!.!.!.!.!.!.
