The thought has always been there to have one of my favorite Prog pieces played at my funeral, but it continuously changes, and no one knows...so no doubt they'll play whatever they want to.
But If they knew, should I torture the people by having them sit through a long song I love, or something significant that will make them think, or just melodicaly pleasing.
Some choices that have been in my mind.
"Talk about your life" Mike Oldfield.
"Soon" Yes
"Never the Same" Echolyn
Last one is my current favorite, great lyrics, beautiful song, and a promising forecast and attitute for my funeral, hopeful" after the song is over the dance goes on, so dance away"

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

If I can afford a 24 piece boyschoir they should perform a vocal treatment of Dance Of Eternity. Otherwise it would be something as comforting as Never The Same by Echolyn.
Don't bring me down will be played when the chest descends.

In My Time of Dying by Led Zeppelin!
Or else what Graham Chapman (of Monty Python fame) had at his funeral - "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life"

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, Kaipa, Tool, Anglagard, Arena, Atoll, Maxophone, PFM and many more...
I can't wait.....

Maybe "Dead Souls" by Nine Inch Nails. or "Them Bones" by Alice In Chains.
Or maybe "Secret World" by Peter Gabriel, off Secret World live.
Or, if I was unhappily in love, "Again" by Archive and "Love Will tear Us Apart" by Joy Division.
Or, "The Effect" by A.C.T. But maybe that's too pretentious? Maybe if there's only one or two people attending the funeral. 
Starless is a great funeral song, too, but I never really figured out what it is about... 
Then again, if my grandma would attain my funeral, I'd play "Good
Beginnings" by Edgar Meyer, to make an okayish last impression on the
poor devil. A great song, too!

Semm che, semm che settà giò in del bar / a cercà l'universo nel bucèer del Cynar
