For when you want it settled
Recording your funeral music wishes, free and without a lawyer
You've known for years which music should play at your funeral. The only thing missing is a place where it's written down, so the people around you won't have to guess. That doesn't need to be a will, and it doesn't need to cost anything.
What recording it means here
On My Last Record you choose five records. You search by title or artist, listen to a preview and put the song in the spot you want. That's it. No ten-page form, no subscription, and no questions about caskets or flowers. Just the music.
Then you invite the people who will need to know: your partner, your kids, a close friend. They get a link that lets them see your list at any time. If something changes, they see the new version without you having to send anything again.
Why you don't need a lawyer
Recording your funeral wishes sounds official, but when it comes to music, no law has anything to say about it. A will deals with your estate and your heirs. A letter of wishes can cover a few belongings. Which record plays as your family walks into the room appears in neither, and it doesn't have to.
What does matter is that the people arranging the funeral know your wishes at the moment they need them. That's usually in the first day or two after a death, when a hundred things have to happen at once. A list they already have, on their phone or on paper, saves a search at a moment when nobody feels like searching.
What it isn't
To be honest about it: this site keeps the record, the people around you carry it out. We're not a funeral insurer and not a funeral home. We don't arrange anything on the day itself. We only keep what you chose and make sure the right people can get to it.
If you have funeral insurance or a wishes booklet from a funeral home, this fits right alongside it. Print your list as a PDF and slip it in, or pass along the link. The more places it lives, the smaller the chance it gets forgotten.
How to record it in ten minutes
- Request a sign-in link with your email address. There's no password.
- Look up your first song and listen to make sure it's the right version.
- Fill the other four spots, in the order you like.
- Invite one or more trusted contacts, up to five people.
- Make a PDF for the folder, if that feels right.
If you can't finish today, your list simply stays where it is. Tomorrow, next month or a year from now you swap something. Nothing is final until you leave it that way.
- Is my list legally binding?
- No. Music wishes aren't part of a will, and they don't need to be. Your list is a clear message to the people you trust, and that's worth more to them than a notarized document.
- What does it cost to record my wishes?
- Nothing. No subscription, no trial period, no payment details. The site was built out of a love of music and stays free for as long as we can keep it that way.
- What happens to my list when I'm gone?
- The people you invited keep their link, also then. They can view and print your five records, so the music plays the way you wanted it.
