If we're to keep a somber tone, I'd aim for Jethro Tull's Slow Marching Band.
Maybe Comfortably Numb for the humourous value. But the end choice is probably Songs from the Wood, the first prog song I heard and still a favourite.

I already have mine picked out:
1. Survival - Yes (1969) 2. Tell Me What You See in Me - Sandy Denny & Strawbs (1967) 3. You and Me - Moody Blues (1972) 4. Meet on the Ledge - Fairport Convention (1969) 5. I'm a Memory - Willie Nelson (1971) They tell a story from the beginning to the end. |

Could"ve sworn I'd answered this about a decade ago, but it was probably in a different thread.
Anyways: No ceremony or speech, but an open air funeral pye above a hilltop, and the ambers can serve as a bbq... Funeral For A Friend (this hasn't been mentionned yet)   So What? (Miles) Even In The Quietest Moments Epitath Echoes (can be cut in half) Thick As A Brick (shortened version) A Love Supreme (whole thing) Woke Up Just In Time To See The Sun + Song Of The Wind (Caravanserai) Nine Feet Underground (can be cut to half) Starless (as an atheist) and finally my buddies reforming Globalys and playing This Mind Is Mine and the never-recorded-before Lullaby Edited by Sean Trane - August 05 2017 at 10:07 |

No prog at my funeral unless something / someone changes my mind.
I've been planning (parts of) Froberger's "Fantasia sopra Ut re mi fa sol la" as a symbolic return from musical mazes full of tensions and drama back to the good old relaxed basic mode of ut(C) major.

Just one song? why not all of them. I don't like long funerals but I hate the idea of being shoved down a hole even more.So the more Prog the better

Same. Or any Tangerine Dream for that matter. I really like some of the stuff from Linda Spa's time in the band.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
