If I did have a funeral, I certainly wouldn't want old-school church hymns being played over dusty pipes. But the thing is, I'm gonna be cremated then swept into a trash can when I die. So a funeral would not be possible.
If the plans change, though, I'll let you know and you can come be my death DJ  |

You've got to be kidding me. If that's the kind of music they like, they have every right to play it. Whoever came up with idea of sappy organ music for funerals in the first place was a dick.

Soon, O Soon The Light... pass within and soothe this endless night.
That would get the "mourners" weeping in the pews  
I also knew a woman who sadly died of cancer who had "Life is for Living" by Barclay James Harvest played at her funeral. An uplifting and yet poignant song in the circumstances. She wanted to send out a positive message to those she left behind.

A rather predictable:
Dream Theater - The Spirit Carries On
Not only are they my favourite band, but the song is also one of my faves of theirs.

"Tubular Bells", by Mike Oldfield.
I just wish I was around to see the looks on everyone's face when that Exorcist music kicks in.:)

Evening Star - Fripp/Eno (not exactly prog?)
Trio - King Crimson
Out-Bloody-Rageous - Soft Machine
and maybe in Freedom - Anekdoten..

Nothing Else Matters + Is there Anybody Out There? + Hey You. They fit perfectly nd have the funeral mood already.

Seriously: Epitaph
Not so seriously Wayne County & the Electric Chairs punk classic " If you don't want to F%*# me babe, baby F%*# off" ! Check it out on you tube !
This from a man who hates swearing, but we are talking funeral here , no?  My wave goodbye after a lifetime as a gentleman!
