What others are saying

  • Funeral song
    I have always told my signifiant other that if I go first I want All Things Must Pass by George Harrison to play at my Memorial Service. Second choice would be November Rain by Guns And Roses...if I kick it in the Falltime!
  • Funeral Tune
    Dazed and Confused - Led Zeppelin followed by Funeral for a Friend as covered by Dream Theatre
