last one from the listed above, maybe song to the siren too, or mayby somebody can play violin or clarinet live, hehe
I want "The Theme from the Magnificent Seven" and then The Walker Bros' "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore".
Naturally, I want to be placed in a longboat on the Trent, flag in paw, and set alight as I drift towards Valhalla (aka Burton).
Darth Vader's theme 
Real list: When I'm 64 (Beatles) Leave Me Alone (NO) Instant Karma (John Boy, solo) Should I Stay Or Should I Go? (The Clash) Goodnight Ladies (Lou Reed)
Of course, I'll probably change my mind before I actually die...seven hundred years from now :p
The Durutti Column - Pol In G, as the crowd gathers and All My Colours by the Bunnymen as my coffin goes to the furnace :)

sammy please tell me more if you wana about dead can dance,im really into 4ad especially cocteaus,like pale saints,have wanted to hear dead can dance for ages...umm an idea...download,would still like to hear how you describe them,and what you think their best album and song is,it may not be the funeral song,i dont know,interested either way.
they have a exotic and haunting sound to them, it's the duo of lisa gerrard and brendan perry who were both formally trained in classical music. I guess they could be described as gothic, spiritual, and having a world-beat type music. Dark, sexy sounds- something that could be played at a funeral or during sex, and both of their voices sound ghostly yet sultry.
Passage in time is the greatests hit album and would be a good intro to dcd and my fav song is "severance".
^ Severance was the first song I'd heard of their's - fantastic and ethereal-like... someone told me it reminded them of being in a creepy old moldy cathedral.
Might be why I like it.
Of course, it's hard to listen to the Gladiator soundtrack, cos she's all over that, and I hear it nearly every time some epic movie comes out about battles and men in loincloths or the like.
