Ahhhh,Kevin Gilbert's song from Shaming of the True would be a good one.

Nice choice

Not a prog song but, Zepp's version of 'In My Time of Dying' would work.
South Side of the Sky?
maybe Starless is better...
or just blast YYZ

I'm curious, how do you people know death sucks?

I would probably have "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper. Seriously

By the way, i'm a guy

Being hopeful about eternal life, I guess I would choose "We Have Heaven" by Yes.

I'd have a good freind of mine sing "Song for a dead Freind" off of Thud by Kevin Gilbert followed by "An Immagined Affair" by Elbow, just change the she's to He's, I think it would be good. Hmm... Wish You Were Here seems a tad bit too corny and obvious for my taste.

I love the topic and I'll post again my Playlist for the Death Party:

In my case there would be a whole concert

For starters (not by order):

The apostle in triumph & To bid you farewell - Opeth

Dogs - Pink Floyd

Travel in Stygian - Iced earth

299 796 Km/s - In the woods

The Dead Flag Blues - GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR!

My Kantele (acoustic version) - Amorphis

As I die - Paradise lost

Monolith & Wheel - Anekdoten

Afterglow & The musical box - Genesis

Starless and bible black & Fallen angel - King Crimson

Empty Words - Anathema

Trapped in a corner - Death

Sleeping Village & Warning - Black Sabbath

I'm sure I forgot some...

Now to bands names because I haven't decided yet on which songs:

White Willow, Wobbler, Kaipa, Tool, Anglagard, Arena, Atoll, Maxophone, PFM and many more...

I can't wait.....

Genesis - 'Seven Stones'; timed so the Mellotron coda comes in just as the curtains are closing at the crematorium. If that doesn't get everyone blubbing, nothing will.

If I do not have any friend at my funeral, please play:

BOB DYLAN: "The Lonesome Death of Hatie Carroll"

If all my friends are at my funeral:

ELTON JOHN: "Funeral for a Friend"

If I was shot to death:

THE ROLLING STONES: Let it Bleed

If I was stabbed to death:

GENESIS: The Knife

If I died like Sid Vicious:

NEIL YOUNG: The Needle and the Damage Done

And if I want everybody crying at my funeral, play

PROCOL HARUM: A Salty Dog (the saddest song I have ever heard).

I'd like to be cremated. Everybody would have a glass of Cinzano Bianco and lemonade, and as the coffin slides through the curtain I'd like The Birdy Song by the Tweets (or failing that Agadoo by Black Lace) and for all those present to do the dance. On the off chance that there is an after life, witnessing that would give me enormous pleasure.
