Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd. It seems perfect. Time Flies would be another good choice, as well, although I don't think I'd pick it over Wish You Were Here. Actually, continuing the Pink Floyd vein, maybe Time would be a good choice... Or Brain Damage.

EDIT: I Talk To The Wind by King Crimson would be another good one for its peaceful, wistful style. Or the acoustic intro to Thick As A Brick by Jethro Tull.

For my wake (coffin lid up):
 
"A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" by Van der Graaf Generator. 
 
Whoever is looking at my body at the "I've seen the smiles on dead hands" part might feel the urge to examine my hands, just to make sure. . . .
 
And there's the "Would you cry if I died?" part for making those with dry eyes feel guilty.  Ha, ha.
 
Seriously, though, I don't know what song I'd pick.  I probably wouldn't choose this one because it would seem a little too creepy for the occasion.  (And I definitely wouldn't want people to feel guilty for not crying.)

I'm thinking about this:

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

Dream Theater - The Spirit Carries On

or whatever from Queen

But remember, maybe death is further than we can imagine, but death is still here. And still will be here.

So keep proggin' 'till the end :-)

I wanna hold Red Special at last once in my life ...
I love my prog boy.

"Soon" by Yes
"San Jacinto" by Peter Gabriel
"Impressioni Di Settembre" by Premiata Forneria Marconi
"Stars Die" by Porcupine Tree
"Refugees" by Van Der Graaf Generator

Yup, I'd have an awesome funeral.

I will probably want some Jon Anderson song...
 
"Fading Lights" by Genesis comes to mind as well both sad and triumphant.  People like Phil Collins.
 
But I think I would probably want a song that doesn't make everyone (whoever shows up Wink) cry but shows them what was closest to my musical heart.

There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

I've always thought that Tull's Requiem would make a good candidate. Although, I've always wanted to play some Univers Zero.
