What songs do you want played at your funeral?

We had "Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles at my brother's funeral 15 years ago. After what he'd gone through, it seemed apt; there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
 
My grandfather always said he wanted "When the Saints Go Marching In" played at his funeral, by which I presume he meant he wanted a New Orleans style Jazz Funeral....
.....but what he got instead was the song played [very badly] by a Presbyterian organist.

Beyond dreary.

Word to the wise: be careful what you ask for.

Off the top of my head I'd have to say the Prelude to the second act of Lohengrin, Louis Armstrong singing What a Wonderful World, among others. Can't think of better music with which to shuffle off this mortal coil.
