Haven't given it much thought really, but one song I'd like to be played (I'm amazed noone has mentioned it yet) is Soon by Yes.

"Spirits" by Pallas.
 
Even has bagpipes.
 
Oooh...might have it segue into "Fragments of the Sun." That would be awesome.

I would start off with some appropriate songs, but then right at the end have them play "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow" or "Valley Girl" by Zappa just to lighten up the atmosphere.

Oh jeez. I hadn't thought about a funeral song but I do have a multi-hour long playlist that I want played in my hospital should I ever go into a persistent vegetative state. It's primarily composed of optimistic and hopeful songs with a tinge of bitterness. Then the final song is "Supper's Ready" and the plug gets pulled at the climax coinciding with the sunrise of the day (provided there isn't sufficient cloud cover to obscure the view of the sun).
We were told everyone should have a living will in one of my classes last semester so I had a bit of fun with it.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.

So many serious songs...geez.  I suppose if I had to play serious music, it'd be Magma's K.A.  That way I'd still have some element of mystery about the occasion.

The Coming Dawn (Thanatopsis) by Kansas seems to be an appropriate choice.

At Morning's Gate by Proto-Kaw would also be nice.

AS you said, Time Flies would be a good one. Another that I might choose would be Nights in White Satin by the Moodies.
