Ride Across The River Wish You Were Here Can't You Hear Me Knocking or Don't Get Around Much Anymore, I can't decide between these

I have ever posted. But I have reflected on this a few times and over the years the choices have remained quite consistent I sometimes change the last choice however to something heavier or more comic. For myself I have chosen 3 I certainly want no hymns sang and my ashes scattered in Hampstead Heath. For the music, I have chosen the following Jimi Hendrix Castles Made of Sand. It reminds me that everything is temporary.
Jordan Rudess and John Petrucci I just simply find this beautiful
Last but not least I have had a love of Gypsy Jazz and the track I tried to learn has been Dark Eyes I love the passion, great melodic lines and the joy of this piece of music

I'm not having a 'regular' funeral (no surprises there then!!!) as after organising my Dad's and seeing many thousands of pounds slip into various other peoples hands, I thought WTF. Funerals ain't cheap folks, even cheap ones!
I'm taking a leaf out of David Bowie's book and it's already in my will. So I'm cutting out the middle men, no coffin or expensive undertakers, florists or other hangers on. At the point of my death, direct to the crematorium for cremation with no ceremony, then the ashes to a memorial firework company.
Then it'll be a remembrance party (I hate funerals) and all the money will go on food and booze for a knees up, instead of a load of strangers in suits. And absolutely nothing religious of any shape or form.
At some point they can fire off my remains in rockets and raise a glass when they go bang.
Sláinte
As for the music - well just this one request for when the rockets fly, I want all the other music to be less melancholy and whatever suits the guests needs. I'm gone, so it's for them to enjoy and choose - assuming anyone turns up? Some Miles Davis and Mahler would be nice, it's up to them. But I would like them to play this . . .
Amazingly Sandy wrote this as a 19 year old, such poignant lyrics for one so young.
