"At The End Of The Day" - Spock's Beard.

One of my all-time favourite prog songs, and very much "on topic" for a funeral.

I went to a funeral of a mate whowas just 28 when he died. The funeral was very formal, but the wake was a 70s rock/prog fest. The happiest, drunkedness wake I've ever been to.

At mine, I dunno, at the moment the song I share with someone is Watching Over You by ELP.

Just to piss everyone off, it would need to be Velvet Voyage by Klaus Schulze, and they would have to stand for the full 29 minutes.......ha ha. However seriously it has to be Lucky Man by ELP, thats my life with my wonderful wife and interesting children.

How about some Tenacious D?

Prog: Van der Graaf Generator - _Childlike Faith in Childhood's End_ or maybe something more upbeat, like Caravan - _In the Land of Grey and Pink_

For peopole who are REALLY full of themselves I say  Verdi's  Messa da Requiem

Personally I'd go with The End by The doors.

If I really had to go prog I guess I'd pick roll the bones by rush. That'd make people smile at least.

I'd like some pianist playing The End of August by Yanni.

Good one. Great song. I put that as one of my choices for a similar thread in the Digital Dream Door forums. Forgot about it when putting my choices down for this one though. Oh well.

easy solution, but beautiful music

To my ears there is no other piece of music as graceful.
