Tall Cool Woman In A Black Dress, The Hollies
My Sharona, The Knack
Beethoven’s 9th Symphony

No funeral, though.
Siegfried’s Funeral March.
What else could it be?
Want:
Erbarme dich, mein gott - JS Bach (in some good version, even though I’m a life-long atheist)
Something good by Tom Waits. Maybe the part you throw away - not sure which song exactly.
Andre Manuel’s De Kraaien - basically a hedonist’s/viking funeral song (lyrics in the description of that youtube link). And maybe Drinkebroer - a love song on the brotherhood of drunks and brothers.
Jake Thackray - ‘Molly Metcalfe’ - just watch the video. And maybe ‘The Hair of the Widow of Bridlington’ if I ever leave a widow.
Oh, and set me on fire please. No burial for me.
I often think that “Highway to Hell” would be an amusing song to be cremated to.
Plus it would shock some of those left behind. As an atheist I really don’t care what happens to my body after I’m dead and as I don’t believe in an afterlife I just want my funeral to be as amusing as possible.
I’m going home from the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Let it be the Beatles
This thread seems to come up every few months, doesn’t it?
So, just like last time, I still want China Roses by Enya.
For me, that’s a HELL NO! Especially if I die in the line of duty as a fireman/EMT, where it’s almost required in a LOD funeral. Amazing Grace offends my Lutheran sensibilities, and bagpipes piss me off just on general principles.
Why Me? by Johnny Cash, from the American IV CD, I think.
Mrs SteveMB threatens to come back to haunt me if I allow Amazing Grace to be played at her funeral.
The Parting Glass-Clancy Brothers
Somewhere Over the Rainbow-That Hawaiian (SP?) guy’s great ukulele version
Into the Mystic-Van Morrison (thanks for the reminder whoever mentioned this first)
Carefree Highway- Gordon Lightfoot
Good Riddance-Greenday 
What, no Finnegan’s Wake?
Knew I forgot one! :smack:
John Milton Cage’s 4’33", followed by P.D.Q. Bach’s Concerto for Horn and Hardart and Yankovic’s Albuquerque.
As in cremated? Or like in a boat along with prized possessions, pushed out to sea? 'Cos I think the latter would be really cool. 
It only sounds cool. What really happens is that they overload the boat and not even Thor can move it on account of wrenching his back the previous night during some Mourning my dead little brother sex with Sif, so they have to call a giantess to shove it off, and she drives up in a chariot pulled by huge wolves whose reins are snakes, just to be a bitch, and Thor, embarassed at being shown up by a chick when said giantess succeeds where he failed, murders an innocent dwarf in anger.
Do you really want that to happen at your funeral?
Ian Moore’s Time of Dying and Today.
It is in my will that if he is available, I would like him hired to play it live.
Play what’cha want at mine – I generally honor the passing of a friend with Whistles The Wind.
I never planned to have music at my funeral. Certainly not that pretentious “How Great Thou Art” that seems to be the all-purpose song around here.
I figured that if anyone wanted music they’d bring their own and it would be some mighty fine boogie getdown stuff.
So, I thought maybe everybody could just go out to the creek seven miles out of town and hang out on the bluffs, maybe do a little wading and tell a few stories about me. Or badmouth me a bit. I’m sure some of them must want to by now.
But ever since I heard Neko Case’s cover of Harry Nielssen’s “Don’t Forget About Me” on the radio this weekend I’ve been singing this quirky little tune. Seems a fitting farewell to me.
Thing is, as awesome as that orchestra of six pianos is, I doubt anyone would want to drag them out to the wilds. But this song will work just as well with a mandolin or guitar.
ETA: I nearly fell off my chair at a wake held for an old friend, Indian, VietNam vet, who died an alcoholic and crackhead. He left behind five wives and a mess of kids, some who’d never met him. Sad, sad, sad.
The music started so quietly I couldn’t hear it and then there was Bobby Zimmerman singing "Saving Grace. Perfect!
