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.

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.

"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.

Genesis - Mad Man Moon, Afterglow, or For Absent Friends

Billy Joel - And so it Goes

Pink Floyd - Wish you were Here

Coldplay - In my Place

Porcupine Tree - Collapse the Light Into Earth

Jackson Browne - For a Dancer

Jethro Tull - Elegy

Also, maybe Rain or Whats Within My Heart from Uriah Heep, and Eagles Desperado....i can think of a whole bunch, but i'll stop right there.

"When you're asleep they may show you, aerial views of the ground, freudian slumbers empty of sounds..."

Entangled - Genesis
Semm che, semm che settà giò in del bar / a cercà l'universo nel bucèer del Cynar
cosmonauti al tavolino cun la sigareta in bùca / che vemm a cambià el mund apena finissum la sambuca

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!

Ma-na, Ma-na by Pierro Umiliani (or the Muppets version at a push).

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.....

Dead As A Brick from Jet Throw Dull!
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

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"

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.
