What song at your funeral?

"He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother". No funeral for me! Burn me up and whomever can do what they want with the remains.
This for me, as well. I'd like to think I deserve a full requiem.
It's kind of strange, but I've always pictured this song blasting at my funeral. 
Don't really care..
Won't be there anyway...
Whatever my beloved ones thinks will help them to go through and remember me as I was.
Happy when playing music.

As they wheel or carry me out of wherever I am I think an extended version of this would suit me just fine.
I’ve already told my wife and daughter…
“Still of the Night” by Whitesnake
For the first couple minutes, everyone would be “***!?!?” then they’d start laughing about the unapologetically unsuitable, un-manscaped full-frontal 80s majesty of the song.
At the time of his death, my grandpa was the oldest surviving member of the Chicago Firefighters Union.
The union sent a bagpiper to his funeral to proceed his casket into the church, and Amazing Grace is what the piper played.
I’d never realized how LOUD bagpipes are, and as we carried the casket into the church, the intensity of the sound became overwhelming.
17 years later, the memory still overwhelms…
I'm not necessarily a big Beatles fan but: "Let it Be"
