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...

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.

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.



You can't possibly hear the last movement of Beethoven's Seventh and go slow. ~Oscar Levant, explaining his way out of a speeding ticket

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

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.

Echolyn - 'Never The Same'
 
"Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die.
I say to you I will see you again on the other side, some day."
 
It was actually written for a funeral.
 
 
Years ago I would have wanted 'And You And I'.
