"Your Funeral... My Trial" is the fourth album by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and was released in 1986. During this period in his life, Cave was steeped in heroin addiction, perhaps evidenced by the melancholy, desperate mood of this album.

Your Funeral... My Trial was originally released as a double EP.

The song "The Carny" is seen being played live by the band in the Wim Wenders film "Der Himmel über Berlin", released one year later.

The title itself is possibly taken from Sonny Boy Williamson's song 'Your Funeral and My Trial.'Fact|date=July 2008
