I like that one, can I have my pockets filled with glitter to make a trail.
If we died at the same time, we could do that Red Arrows thing where it looks like they'll hit head on but just miss, whilst trailing coloured smoke. Mind you, flaming would look cool at night,

I want Gary Barlow's greatest hits playing. Not because I like Gary Barlow. I'll be dead so won't give a st but my sister loves Gary Barlow so every time she hears one of his songs she will burst into tears. hehe

Burial: Knock on Wood, or Knock Knock Who's There?
And as the coffin is being lowered, that old Quo favourite "Down Down Deeper & Down!"

Cremation: The Heat is On
I am leaving special instructions for my ashes to be scattered at Turn 2 of Belle Vue Speedway, it's always a bit slippy there, may give them a bit more grip.

Viking longship funeral: Smoke on the Water.....

I do like the Trebuchet / smoke / glitter idea though biggrin

And the guy who wanted to be buried with his mobile phone ( switched on at max volume of course ) in his coffin, his mate briefed to ring it as the casket is being lowered into the grave.

The ringtone?

"I'm Alive!" by the Hollies

Dad chose the song, but the dance was a spontaneous effort by the vicar who was a good friend of my Dad and the choir followed suit.
