Assuming that at some point far into the future that you have gone to audiofile heaven, what you you like people to play at your funeral in case you are listening and to help them with their loss?
YHK, you can specify music in a letter to a loved one, or pre plan. Churches may indeed restrict most of the selections mentioned unless snuck in by playing on organ at slower tempo, such as "You Cant Always Get What you Want" played at the funeral in the Big Chill. Funeral homes are often more flexible. So if you try some times, you get what you need. Joe
I've thought about this question more than is healthy, I'm sure. One contender is Libera Me from Faure's Requiem. But I'm currently leaning toward one of Bach's Goldberg Variations. Either the Aria or Var. 13 or perhaps the final variation, no. 30. My wife just loves it when I have some new thoughts on this quesiton.
How about the Beatles "The Long and Winding Road" since I'm looking forward to seeing many old friends when I get to the next life... Maybe followed up by something uplifting from Bach...
