"To Be Over" by Yes, but only if the exact lineup is there to play it live.

No-man - Counting and Truenorth

Truenorth is brilliant; I'd love to have that at my funeral... I'll also add Wherever There Is Light, Photographs In Black And White and Things Change.

Steven Wilson - Veneno Para Las Hadas
Any 70s Tangerine Dream

And Bass Communion - Ghosts on Magnetic Tape would be playing in the background to create a nice omnious feeling

I'd probably want to hear Soon by Yes. Or perhaps Solsbury Hill, as I saw that mentioned earlier in this thread.

Anekdoten - Sad Rain
- Fitting of course! But this is too melodramatic and only if it was a funeral in a movie.

John Coltrane - A Love Supreme in it's entirety.

King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic Pt. I & II or In The Wake of Poseidon off of the same album.

Genesis - The Musical Box

There are plenty more, but that'll do for now.

At my father's funeral, his brother and best friend played a medley of Wish You Were Here and Shine on you Crazy Diamond using a piano and 12 string guitar, It was rather beautiful. My dad's favourite band was of course Pink Floyd.

Genesis' Silent Sorrow In Empty Boats before that. Somber and good for reflection, though short. The former one might cheer people up. Assuming of course people would be sad. I should put it in my will that people will be required to have a good time or else.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I had a serious think about this, and although it isn't prog, I want this played at my funeral.

Supper's Ready would be a great one...

However I have already selected these (non prog) - Into the Mystic by Van Morrison, the Parting Glass sung by the Voice Squad, and Coming Home - theme from Local Hero, by Mark Knopfler.
