Maggot Brain would be kind of cool. So would Till I Die by the Beach Boys.

As we place this wretched waste of a man into his final rotting place.
We pray for his soul to be stripped and tormented
of all that is proper, to burn in his sins,
In the witness of the Father, the Son and the Holy
Ghost, his soul will fall below the valley of death.
Left to rot forever, to never be free, never return.

Realistically though, music at funerals kinda sucks. Speaking from personal experience, there's a couple songs that were used at a friend's funeral that I can't stand hearing anymore because of it. Maybe that's just me.

Great topic. Not that I like death or funerals, but a good piece of music can give one a sort of glimpse of things on a cosmic, sweeping scale, make one feel the connection between life and death. These two pieces remind me of the staggering awe appropriate to the human condition:

I always thought a 'mixtape' of things I was involved with would be cool. That of course, implies that people would GO to my funeral...

Will there be an open bar afterwards?
