Okay now for serious:
Porcupine Tree - Collapse The Light Into Earth (I don't even care for the song, but it'd be good for a funeral)
Dream Theater - Octavarium
Pink Floyd - Hey You

I was thinking more like Toccata by ELP  Rawks

but seriously i'd have many choices...

i talk to the wind- king crimson
dogs, us and them, shine on you crazy diamonds, wish you were here- pink floyd
fool's overture, sister moonshine, two of us- supertramp
close to the edge, and you and i, soon, heart of the sunrise, ive seen all good people- yes
and more but can't think of them right now

I probably wouldn't like to have a funeral, so when I die just burn me and throw my ashes in the woods.
But if someone make me a funeral i'd like some funny songs, Samla Mammas Manna or Beefheart.
Or some agressive stuff, like DeathRawks
Or something that comes from hell (is the place where I'll be, so I have to familiarize... ), like Shub Niggurath and Univers Zero

I would probably go for Echoes Pink Floyd, or Islands King Crimson, though I might go crazy and pick Terje Rypdal Whenever I seem to be far away or Morning by T2

I see Echolyn's "Never the Same" has been mentioned.  I'm listening to that now- it gets me every time.  What an amazing song.

Seconded. That song alone is enough to make As The World a 5-star album! Clap

I want to be cremated, so it'd have to be Deep Purples 'Burn'.
 
LOL
 
 
Oh.....

Some great choices here! "In a Silent Way" by Joe Zawinul is the music I need to fly into infinity.

Rain by Uriah Heep from Sweet freedom, is terrible sad song to my ears. But in general I don't want prog songs at my funeral.

Megadeth is arguably 'prog.'

So, I'd have to say 'A Tout le Monde.'
