If someone that has passed was saved and should that have any influence on participating in their being laid to rest?

You don't ask, and if you care about the deceased or the family, you go and show your support.


Just how I roll.

Yeah, I figured. Doesn’t help with picking out a song though.

Nothing you can do now anyways

You could do a " heaven or He ll " song

I can’t help but feel like he would prefer a rendition of SRV’s “Life Without You” over “Amazing Grace”.

Only God knows the heart of a person.
I've heard it said, when you get to heaven you might be surprised at some of the people who are there and some of the ones who aren't.

I've been to one or two funerals where an appropriate song my have been one off of an AC/DC album. Fortunately they didn't ask me to pick songs.

Play hwy to (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) reL loud.

I quit going to church in my 30’s . Not because I quit God , but because I started noticing the people . The people that were ushers, the nuns the lector’s, they were all people of the community that would be the first to drive past me changing a flat tire along the road. The same people that would get stuck in the snow and when you shoveled and pushed them out they didn’t have the common curtesy to say thank you , or even roll the window down and give a wave as they left you standing there. Worse yet were the business men that were well off and yet 2 or 3 times a year would give someone a good thrashing on a money deal. I really got to thinking they were all there to ease a guilty conscious and give a false impression to those not paying attention. So what I’m saying is don’t assume because I don’t go to church that I don’t like rock of ages or amazing grace “ one of my all time favorite’s “ , I’m just not churchy .

All that being said , when I go you can pick anything but heavy metal to play at my going away party. I won’t care but I don’t know anyone that likes that crap, lol !

You have a good reason to know if you are performing at the service. Simply sit down with the family, and non-judgmentally, ask.

Wrong time to ask that question but not to help the ones left!

That’s a good point, gonna be a few heathens there, don’t want to miss an opportunity to convert. Better go with a message song.

Some things are better left unsaid/asked.

I have my funeral corographed .
All the music, food and the taste beverages to be served.
I want a celebration of life, not a morning of death.
Thinking about getting cremated and made into a diamond.
That way the kids could take me hunting and fishing until they lose me....again

I worked with a guy who was killed in a roof fall in the mine. He was 35, and, let’s say, he was pretty unrestrained in how he lived. But he was a good guy.

At the funeral home, everyone was seated, waiting for the service to start. Suddenly, a saxophone starts wailing over the sound system, playing Bob Seger….On The Road Again.

It was kinda fitting. Every time I hear that song, twenty years later, I think about him.

I have left word that when my time comes the song to play is I did it
My way

Plane and simple anything else is up to them

I would just ask the family what music they would like performed out of the songs available on your playlist that you provide them.
