I'd go with some piano pieces (like Thomas Newman's 'Any other name') but also 'Iris' by the Goo Goo dolls and 'Chasing Cars' by snow patrol. Probably a lot of folk music as well... Loreena McKennit and Heather Dale and so on.
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond, parts 1-7" by Pink Floyd and "Movin' On Up" by Primal Scream, so far. I'll think of more within the next how ever many years I have left of my life. I'm only 16... hopefully I don't end up dying early.
"Somewhere Over the Rainbow"- Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole ONLY HIS COVER, not some cheesy Wizard of OZ crap. I want my "funeral" to celebrate my life, not mourn my death, and IZ captures that mood perfectly.
When I Get Where I'm Going and Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) are a couple of sad songs I would like at my funeral. And Bohemian Rhasphody maybe? I don't know. I'm not sure what happier songs to have.
