My brother had a tune he didn't like played at his funeral. Not intentionally, it wasn't his decision. My other brother had selected it thinking it was a favourite. Why? I don't know. Perhaps he only remembered that it had been spoken about but not in what terms. It didn't matter, I suspect I was the only one there that knew, and it gave me a much needed chuckle.
3 songs for your funeral....

Only one and Mrs B knows about it already:
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
I would like the searing main guitar solo to be turned up to 11.
Mrs B wants the Disturbed version of Sound of Silence and a couple of hymms whose titles I can't immediately recall. "One More Step Along the World I Go" comes to mind.

True. Your singing along might freak mourners out though.

A crem my wife went to had 'Girl on fire' for her funeral (chosen by the sadly departed). 
I had to find some bizarre tune for my FIL that my MIL wanted. It was horrendous, but tracked it down on Amazon, and I had to buy an album that's sat in my digital collection.

I'm not in anyway religious, but I was considering these two, just to confuse people
I do like a bit of Gospel though
From the cracking 'The Mountain' CD

I simply like Alison Krauss

And the third.... possibly, as we had it at our wedding to leave the Church to

That said, about Trumpet Voluntary, I did want this at the wedding
The the wife heard it.............
