"Thank You" from Led Zep II - if there's a dry eye in the house after that, I'm coming back to haunt them...........and, of course, Starless for an encore........I've had to sit through All Things Bright & Beautiful at so many funerals recently, that they'll damn well have some decent music at mine.......

I would also like to point out that my friend and I are writing a Prog bible with certain bands as gods and then lesser deities as well as locations for the afterlife, funeral and marriage rituals it's going to be awesome.

We got to pump the stuff to make us tough
from the heart
Its astart
What we need is awareness we cant get careless
Mental self defensive fitness
Make everybody see in order to fight the powers that be

I would be kind to my guests so:
Hatfield and the North: Halfway Between Heaven and Earth or
Gracious: Heaven
Not because I believe in 'heaven', but both songs have the right kind of feel to them.
I'm not sure I will play any prog, though.

Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

can I take Fantomas' Delirium Cordia? if I'm dead then I want people to remember me for subjecting them to seventy minutes of ambient terror. I'll write in my will that everyone has to stay seated until the twenty minutes of simulated record needle skipping has finished.
from the classic prog works then perhaps it'd be VdGG's Arrow.

I think "E' festa"(Celebration) - Premiata Forneria Marconi. They must not be sad, because I'll go in a better place (or worse?   ).

I agree with Awaken cos' I'm a big fan of Yes, but I think that DIES IRAE by Devil Doll will sound very great during my funeral...

None -- that would be shallow and pretentious, and likely beneath the understanding of most there.
Perhaps a poem, perhaps some Bach or such & hopefully a eulogy or two from people who knew and loved me.

A Peter Hammill poem (disguised as a song, with accompaniment by a band) maybe Peter?  I don't care if it's shallow or pretentious, because music is very important to me and it would be a celebration of my life and so a relavent piece of music that represents me, would work.
