Lullaby in G by Billy Joel.
The basic theme of the song is that we can live forever in the hearts of those who loved us.
Much more comforting than the thought that your loved one is rotting in a box right in front of you.
Someone already said “St. James Infirmary”, so I’ll add
“Love You More” by the Buzzcocks (but the King Missile version)
and Willie Nelson’s “The Party’s Over”
If the music were entirely my choice, I’d select Edvard Grieg’s “Funeral March for Rikard Nordraak”: it’s Scandinavian, secular, and dignified enough for a typical memorial service. (Since I follow a radically different faith from the rest of my family, a secular funeral seems like the fairest compromise between my wishes and the survivors’ feelings.)

No funeral and certainly no music. I believe that even the most boring, or lame, or silly, or beautiful music, tends to make people cry.
So; Are they crying because of the music, or because of me?
I’d like it, that, when I’m dead, people will stay at home, have [a] drink[s] on me and put on some music of their choice, if they feel like it.
