I'm torn between choosing some bog awful maudlin sentimental crap that will annoy the feck out of everyone, or choosing songs i actually like.
If it's left to my brother or sister to choose, it'll be something like Shine On... by Pink Floyd (a song i can't bear these days, but my brother likes it) and some middle of the road crap my sister likes, Celine Dion maybe
.
What's the process.... one for them to walk in to, one to listen to during the service and one to leave to?
OK... this on a loop to walk into
and this for them to leave to...

Yes, great song. There was a time when it was my favourite song, too. I think it was used in a chocolate bar advert many decades ago.
As regards my funeral, I quite fancy "In My Life" by the Beatles.

Ah Elton, apparently it doesn't work like that..... my wife and I had this very conversation last week (one of our closest friends is terminally ill, hence the subject was bought up) - I was of the same opinion as you, either ditch, compost heap or 'body farm' https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-01436-8 for me, but my wife said 'not a chance, how can the rest of us grieve?' So, it's a cremation with a Johnny Cash song, either 'Hurt' or 'Ring of Fire'

Forever in blue jeans.... My karaoke standard... I would use it as a an extra test as to whether I'm dead or not... if I don't join in.... you can bury/cremate me!
or perhaps making your dreams come true by Cyndi Grecco - theme to Laverne and Shirley for no other reason than its the best T.V theme ever! but I'd want the talking bit by Laverne and Shirley as well not just the version on spotify without it.... 'one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated'

and has anyone said Queen - Bicycle Race or Kraftwerk Tour de France?
Probably me as well.
I'll go with this version, as did many tours with the band in the 80's and 90's.
That song paid for my first flat!
