Song (or music) you want played at your funeral.

This is a variation on the "Favorite song" (or Classical composition) choice, as this title should in some way be related to mortality. Can you tell I'm approaching the end of mine? For me the choice is obvious; imo one of the three greatest songs I've ever heard (the other two being "What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted" and "No Time To Cry"): "God Only Knows", music by Brian Wilson, lyrics by Tony Asher, recorded by The Beach Boys in 1965. Light years above what anyone else in Pop music (or even Classical and Jazz) was doing at the time (or has done since), including The gd Beatles.

 My parents died when I was very young and I have always been surrounded by death, so I have a unique relationship with the tall, thin gentleman in the dark cloak.  
   I was wanted to be buried because let’s face it, I might want to come back. But being as I live in Japan it looks like it’ll be cremation. Regardless, these are the songs I want played.

I have a few. 
Queen, "The Show Must Go On"
Sinatra, "My Way"
Warren Zevon, "Keep Me In Your Heart"
And Mark Knopfler, "Piper To The End"

I'd throw in the Muppets, "I Hope That Something Better Comes Along"
