You can leave your wishes for a funeral, it's up to the relatives whether they play them or not. Sounds like your friend was an interesting person.

my grandfather passed away in january and for 20 years hes been saying when he died he wanted them to play "he stopped loving her today by george jones" we had it played just like he wanted and there wasnt a dry seat in the house sometimes music at funerals is ok especially when the deceased wanted it played

What an excellent way to remember your friend. Have you ever been to a New Orleans funeral? Now they know how to do a funeral!

At my husbands funeral as folk were arriving in church we played

Wishes of hapiness and prosperity (Scared Spirit)

As he was carried in to church
Shine on you Crazy Diamond (Pink Floyd)

And as he was carried out
Wish you were here (Pink Floyd)

His family were not amused as they thought it was disrespectful! But it was what he wanted, so thanks to the support of Earthangel and Undertaker, I didnt cave in to them and Pete got his final wish

Pink Floyd at full blast. I even had wreath done like this

He was a BIG Floyd fan
