    Amazing Grace definitely played on bagpipes.
    "My way" has been somewhat of a theme song for me of late but ultimately this one:

    Blood Sweat & Tears:
    I'm not scared of dying
    And I don't really care
    If it's peace you find in dying well then
    Let the time be near
    If it's peace you find in dying
    And if dying time is near
    Just bundle up my coffin
    'Cause it's cold way down there
    I hear that it's cold way down there
    Yeah crazy cold way down there
    And when I die
    And when I'm gone
    There'll be one child born
    In this world to carry on
    To carry on
    Now troubles are many
    They're as deep as a well
    I can swear there ain't no heaven
    But I pray there ain't no hell
    Yes I swear there ain't no heaven
    and I pray there ain't no hell
    But I'll never know by living
    Only my dying will tell
    Yes only my dying will tell
    Yeah only my dying will tell
    And when I die
    And when I'm gone
    There'll be one child born
    In this world to carry on
    To carry on
    Yeah~Hoo
    Give me my freedom
    For as long as I can be
    All I ask of living
    Is to have no chains on me
    All I ask of living
    Is to have no chains on me
    And all I ask of dying is to go naturally
    Oh I want to go naturally
    Here I go
    Hey hey
    Here comes the devil
    Right behind
    Look out children
    Here he comes
    Don't want to go by the devil
    Don't want to go by demon
    Don't want to go by Satan
    Don't want to die uneasy
    Just let me go naturally
    And when I die
    When I am dead, dead and gone
    There'll be one child born
    In our world to carry on
    To carry on yeah yeah

    I also want Amazing Grace played on the bag pipes.

    I also have a tee-shirt I want to be wearing. On the front, it says, I'd rather be breathing. On the back it says, keep the fun in funeral.

    "Keep Your Eyes on the Pr........" WAIT! Sorry... Flashback.....

    Actually, all joking asside. I've been thinking about this since my Mother-in-Law's funeral this summer. I think I'd like to have either Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" or Tim McGraw's "Please Remember Me" played at my funeral.
