Vale Decem as Funeral Music

That could work, music has slow build up, coffin slowly descended into the oven/ground, music reaches peak as oven hit full power/ you burst out of the coffin in mid regeneration.
Of course that would never work for my funeral....Slow crescendo of music, hospital orderlies toss my lifeless corpse onto the table as another team of student doctor gather round to watch as I'm dissected for their education......music reaches peak as doctor enters the theater and makes a dead body joke.

Strange though it may seem, I've always associated "This is Gallifrey" with funerals. Or burials, to be more accurate.

Scaring your family half to death then wondering if you're ginger this time.
Hm. "This Is Gallifrey," to me, always brings to mind images of childhood combined with images of violence and betrayal.
Interestingly enough, I did think up a montage to go along with "This is Gallifrey" about a man being betrayed and murdered by an underling. The montage begins with medics arriving on the scene and declaring the man dead while his murderer is arrested. Than his murder is announced on the news and everyone around the world takes a moment to rasie a glass to him (he's a famous guy). There's a brief bit with the murderer being sentenced, and then then we finish off with the victim's burial. Pallbearers carrying the coffin through a graveyard, with soldiers giving a 21-gun salute.
Yes, these images seriously pop into my head when I hear that tune.
So, Vale Decem is playing at your funeral, and will you edit in a soundbyte of yourself saying "I don't want to go..." into it..?

^^Seems only right. The tune does go silent for the thrity seconds it took Tennant to say it.
If I were to die tomorrow and my will said that "Vale Decem" was to be the music played as my wife, family and friends hauled me out of the church, I'd fully expect them to drop me out on the curb for dictating that such a loud, ostentatious, bombastic piece of music be played for such a somber occasion.
And they'd be right. It'd be just as silly as playing "My Heart Will Go On."

Well, although I'd love to try to disagree with Tim, but I really can't. I love the music, just not for a mood like that.
With that said: I would confirm that, yes Tim, should you choose that to be played at your funeral I would make sure that you are left on the curb for doing that to me.

If someone were to ask me to have "Vale Decem" as their funeral music, they'd end up with "Yakety Sax."
Whenever I listen to "Vale Decem" I have to listen to "The Next doctor" immediately after, even though that's not they order they appear on the album. I've created a playlist on my iphone called "ten to eleven" with the music in the order it mostly appears in the episodes 
That was my second choice. My third choice is The Theme from "Lost", but because it's such a short piece you'd have to put it on a continuous loop.
EDIT whoops apologies for the double post, mods. Wasn't my intention.
