I saw this thread and it made me remember my brothers funeral, it couldnt have been a better send off.
My brother died when he was 15, still in school. At his funeral, 200 people from his school turned up. On top of all his relatives etc, the church was flooded with people. My brother was always the joker, could always make people laugh - I like to think he got that ability from me. But anyway, at the start of the funeral as people were walking into the church behind the coffin, you could hear alot of crying and whimpering. Everyone got seated and the Vicar said a few prayers, people went up to the front and read out a few poems, it was all very depressing. The Vicar then said somthing like "I have been asked by Stefans family to play a song that he loved very much, a song very close and dear to him". I turned around just to see the look on his friends faces, they all looked really confused as to what the song might be, they all knew he liked his rap music but looked at each other as if to say "they're not going to play one of those songs at.. inside a..". For anyone who hasnt heard Ludacris - Stand Up, go download it.
It came on and all the sounds of crying and whimpering suddenly turned into laughter and people smiling. Even after death, he was still able to make people have that reaction and even though I picked out the song, I knew it would be exactly what he would have wanted.
Watch out for my medalion, my diamonds are wreckless, feels like a midget is hangin' from my neckless!
