“Epitaph” from the Repo! The Genetic Opera soundtrack, just for these lines:
*
'Cause we all end up in a tiny pine box
A mighty short drop
And a mighty dark plot
And the might fine print hastens the trip
To our epilogue*
My wife has specific instructions to play,“Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” from Monty Python’s “The Life of Brian” at my funeral.
The Lucky One by Alison Krauss pretty much sums up my more-than-fifty years.
I Take My Chances by Mary Chapin Carpenter is my personal philosophy for living
Bristlecone Pine by Michael Johnson describes what I would like done with my body/ashes.
I’ve made sure that the people who are likely to be in charge of my final disposition are aware of my wishes.
You Can’t Always Get What You Want - The Rolling Stones
Nessun Dorma - Calaf’s Aria from Puccini’s Turandot
Here’s my funeral song list. Pick one. I bored people enough in life, let’s get to the buffet!
What A Wonderful World – Louis Armstrong
Into The Mystic
I Would Give Everything I Own – Bread
Ooh Child The Five Stairsteps
Ave Maria – Schubert
Peace Train – 10,000 maniacs
Over the Rainbow – Israel Kam
Fire and Rain – James Taylor
Box of Rain – Grateful Dead
Birdsong – Grateful Dead
Back on the Chain Gang – Pretenders
Tiny Dancer – Elton John
Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door – Dylan
Mr. Tambourine Man – Dylan
I’m Walking on Sunshine – Katrina and the Waves
May the Circle Be Unbroken --Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Amazing Grace on bagpipes
Scotland the Brave on bagpipes
Siegfried’s funeral march from Wagner’s Gotterdammerung
“Another one bites the dust”.
Because the title is so incredibly appropriate for a funeral.
John Prine’s “Please Don’t Bury Me.”
Chorus:
Please don’t bury me
Down in that cold cold ground
No, I’d druther have “em” cut me up
And pass me all around…
I don’t want a funeral but I don’t think I’m going to have a choice in the matter. 
A bit of a mix between religious (for the pro-funeral people) and not (for me). My list right now is:
Always look on the bright side of life
I’ll Fly Away (the bluegrass version from Oh Brother Where Art Thou)
Guide me, oh thou great redeemer (Cwm Rhondda)
ELCA green hymnal – Earth and all stars
You’ll Never Walk Alone
The first verse of “Ode to Joy” and the verse which begins “Mortals join the happy chorus…”
I have two odd requests for my funeral that both my wife and Pastor are well aware of. I want a knock-knock joke somewhere in the eulogy. The other is to have the closing hymn be “Rainbow Connection”. If they can get someone to sing it as Kermit the Frog, all the better. I’ve laughed my way through a strange life and never lost the will to dream; if I can leave a seed of that behind, my job is done.
PS - both also know that if they dare use “On Eagle’s Wings” I will claw my way out of the grave and start a zombie apocalypse all by myself. I really and truly hate that song.
Princess and the Pony is Sean-na-na, not Harmar.
Or, aren’t they one and the same? Or related somehow? I can’t remember
Ashokan Farewell, by Jay Unger.
I Wanna be Sedated by the Ramones
I Did It My Way by Sid Vicious
The Internationale, for starters. Sung by all in attendance. I once had the honor of leading it for a friend who left us far too early, and it was inspiring. I don’t know the exact title to this one, but there’s a Sigur Ros song whose lyrics consist entirely of the line “I’m going into a field to lie down” - entirely appropriate, IMO. Beyond that I haven’t given it much thought.
Mr Brightside.
This because definitely the second verse sums up how I really feel and the chorus is the truth. I’ll be going home.
Moving this – at a nice dirgelike pace – over to Cafe Society.

This version of I’ll See You In My Dreams
Great way to start a party.
Let It Be by the Beatles. The version from Past Masters, not the album version.
