Everyone always says mad music like 'Highway to Hell' and stuff like that,
but has anyone actually been to a funeral where something like that has been played?

I am told that Highway to Hell is the most popular funeral song for men's funerals in Australia.

For the Australian ladies, most popular is "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead"

I see what you did there, also awesome song.

I'd go with "Nutshell" by Alice in Chains and "High Hopes" by Pink Floyd.

Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits & The Last of the Mokicans soundtrack for the mass, I've also asked for some songs like the Benny Hill soundtrack to be played at the drinks afterwards!

Highway to Hell
Wasted Years (iron maiden one)
In the Flesh?
Master of Puppets
One (metallica one)
The Unforgiven
Closer (NIN)
Sympathy for the Devil
Hallowed be thy Name

I'm a bit of a sarky bastard it would seem!
