Actually, I'd prefer to listen to Egg's Bach interpretations myself.

well, i thought about KC's Epitaph myself, but then i stumbled upon some other songs that were probably not going to show up very soon here:
Anathema - Are You There: it's actually in no way a song about death, more like a romantic ballad, but the feeling and the new interpretation of the lyrics [which, ironically, would fit just perfect] make it a candidate
Liquid Scarlet - Just Like You: again, nothing macabre here, just a song that goes well with a funeral
The Doors - A Feast Of Friends - i prefer this rendition of the Adagio because the voice makes it more dramatic and i've always thought of it as a funeral song
Ulver [it just had to be here] - Blinded By Blood/Not Saved: one of these is what i would actually like to have performed if it were my choice

Although it's not prog, Dead on Time by Queen. Just because it ends
with a thunderstorm noise, and Freddie yelling "You're dead!"
Achilles' Last Stand by
Led Zeppelin would be nice aswell, kind of fits the mood.
On the prog side, maybe the whole
Epilog album by Änglagård, or Le Monde à l'Envers by Nemo.

Pain of Salvation - Leaving Entropia (epilogue)
Now that'd work quite well too, especially with Daniel Gildenlow whispering "go to sleep" at the end.

oh... have had this one in mind for years.... Traffic - Glad
a song which represents the joy of a life that...has seen and
done many things and lived life to the fullest... and the sorrow of a
life extinguished...

I'd probably have some Floyd... either "Comfortably Numb", or "The Gnome" to give 'em a laugh (and paint a fairly accurate portrait of my life).
Or perhaps "A Lotus on Irish Streams" by the Mahavishnu Orchestra, just 'cause I like it.

You know people, when I read through this thread, I am catching myself thinking that I would want to attend on all funerals of yours.

Well I want a run through of my funeral before I go, so I can hear my own choices of music and see who turns up and what their reaction will be! That is rather odd I know, but I would like to know these things!

Maybe Visa Från Kallsedet (Song from Kallsedet) by Landberk, or Gammapolis by Omega if I die at age of 35, few years from now.

The godfather theme. That would give the funeral a classy feel and besides it's my favourite movie.

I'd like It's a Game by String Driven Thing at the begining, Fire by Arthur Brown, as i slip through the curtains. Fire Brigade by the Move (not prog, but a bit imagination folks), in case i'm not deid (pronounced deed). Then as everyone walks out and congratulates each other on not shouting during the service, that i'm an obnoxiious pr1ck, who nobody liked, I'm Alive by ELO.

I would have my deathbed adorned of a hospital's lonely hospitality,
slowly decaying towards the state of inexistence, while trespassing
consciousness' limbo, attending to my own eulogy by the words of The
Tangent's In Darkest Dreams (In Dark Dreams' section), Genesis' Carpet
Crawlers (not related to death, but soothing, containing an appropriate
chorus - "We've got to get in to get out..."), Dream Theater's
Disappear, Porcupine Tree's Sleep Of No Dreaming and The Rest Will
Flow; the funeral compilation of epitaphs would have DT's Eve and
Hell's Kitchen, along with LTE's Hourglass to finalize the dwindling
remnants of sentient awareness until the motion fades and light blends
into blackness, at last.

I'd pick Asia's version of 10CCs "Ready to go home". I guarantee not a dry eye in the house with that one.
Epitaph is a good one, too.
