Buffett songs at your funeral
What song or songs would you want played at you funeral. I was at a funeral for a friend recently and she had everyone wear sports jerseys and they sang take me out to the ball game. Has anyone else thought about this for their funeral?

I find it kind of heartening the trend away from the serious buttoned down funerals of late. My cousins husband was buried in his best Red Sox clothing. A dear friend who passed away last month was buried in his plaid shirt and fishing hat. His wife said:"How else will God recognize him?"
When we went to pick out a headstone for my mom last fall I saw a beautiful stone with a sailboat sailing into the sunset. It got me to thinking that's what I would want for myself. I've been working on what lyric to have inscribed on it.
I've told my wife I would want OPH played for me. It speaks to me like no other song.

You mean I can only have one song at my funeral/wake !?!
No way, it's going to be all Buffett, all the time and I do mean ALL of Buffett. I don't care if it takes a little while to get through it all, I'm in no rush!

well lets see:
a JB song would have to be The Jolly Mon, because even after the Jolly Mon is gone, everybody still loves him, he is peaceful in the Heavens, and has always had a gift for song even after death, influence over the islanders, that kinda thing. You know? lol...That, and/or the Harry Chapin song called "Circle"
Those and maybe also Prince of Tides since I had just listened to Hot Water today was listeneing to the lyrics of the song.
