I've actually had this decided for quite some time... It would have to be King Crimson's Starless. It's so beautifully bleak until that epic, triumphant ending.

Oh, and it's my favorite song.

I thought that the first song to come out would be KC's "Epitaph".

To Lay Me Down - Jerry Garcia

Across the Universe -  Beatles
Yesterday - Beatles

Personal sentiments in each that I'd want to express one last time, plus simple melodies that everyone in attendance could appreciate.....While I love 20 minute complex prog epics with all my heart, I don't think it a great idea to put beloved 80 year old aunts through that.

Those songs are for the afterparty your friends throw for you, when the brews and Js come out. 
...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell"

Not all prog, but:
Pink Floyd - Great gig in the Sky
Iron Butterfly - In a Gadda-da-vida
King Crimson - I Talk to the Wind
Temple of the Dog - Say Hello 2 Heaven
Alice Cooper - I love the Dead
Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan
Led Zeppelin - In my Time of Dying

And more...

Something total BS, like Shakira or MJ (sry shakira/mj-fansOuch )

It would really piss me off, if they would play something good at my funeral while I'm not anymore there to listening. Actually, I don't care what they are playing there. I'm not religious at all. When you're dead, it's permanent!

While not prog, it is in the database...

...I was listening to "Blue in Green" by Miles Davis...I want that played at my funeral I think.

I've always thought that Tull's Requiem would make a good candidate. Although, I've always wanted to play some Univers Zero.
