I'd probably pick something with a chill, "everything's gonna be alright" feel. Maybe "Let the Good Times Roll" by Grateful Dead. I'm a hippie even in death  _________________ I'm back!

How about Aint no Sunshine When She's Gone? Maybe not..
Like Nie I think I'd pick traditional hymns because I love them. I'd even have the very traditional The Lord is my Sheperd. And I think finishing on Thine be the Glory would be good, ending on a hopefull note. I like In Christ Alone too.
If anyone picks a James Blunt song for it I will come back and haunt them  _________________

Of course "The Grey Havens" and "Into the West" are both amazing songs, but I think only a few people at the funeral would truly appreciate them 
I'd have to say I'd pick "The Cure for Pain" by Jon Foreman. It's just...awesome.
...but the water keeps on fallin' from my eyes
Heaven knows, heaven knows...
I try to find the Cure for the Pain
Oh, my Lord! To suffer like You do...
It would be a lie to run away...
And the whole mood of the song is just perfect.
Here's a live performance (doesn't start until a few minutes in):

Just out of spite, I would want super irony, and just mess with people hardcore.
So...
Feeling Good--Muse
Ask Me How I Am--Snow Patrol
Barely Breathing--Duncan Sheik
Every Breath You Take--The Police
There's plenty of others, but those are the ones that make me laugh the most.
And I'm really that kind of person. So I really would do it.

I would have 'Into The West' by Annie Lennox. I've alrady decided that. Also a song by Jethro Tull, probably 'The Whistler'. And maybe 'I Wsih' by Lioghthouse Family. But there are a number of songs that could fit that third slot, like 'The Boys Of Summer' by Don Henley...

^Wow, I'd worry that people would get depressed if they heard "Time" at a funeral, though.

Songs For Aging Children Come by Joni Mitchell
Through the windless wells of wonder
By the throbbing light machine
In a tea leaf trance or under
Orders from the king and queen
Songs to aging children come
Aging children, I am one
People hurry by so quickly
Don't they hear the melodies
In the chiming and the clicking
And the laughing harmonies
Songs to aging children come
Aging children, I am one
Some come dark and strange like dying
Crows and ravens whistling
Lines of weeping, strings of crying
So much said in listening
Songs to aging children come
Aging children, I am one
Does the moon play only silver
When it strums the galaxy
Dying roses will they will their
Perfumed rhapsodies to me
Songs to aging children came
This is one

I want happy music played at my funeral - I want it to be a celebration, not a time for mourning. I don't have a lot of specific wishes... but here's a song I think would be really awesome:
The Calling wrote: "Our Lives"
Is there love tonight
When everyone's dreaming
Of a better life?
In this world
Divided by fear
We've gotta believe that
There's a reason we're here
Yeah, there's a reason we're here
Cause these are the days worth living
These are the years we're given
And these are the moments
These are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives
See the truth all around
Our faith can be broken
And our hands can be bound
But open our hearts and fill up the emptiness
With nothing to stop us
Is it not worth the risk?
Yeah, is it not worth the risk?
Cause these are the days worth living
These are the years we're given
And these are the moments
These are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives
Even if hope was shattered
I know it wouldn't matter
Cause these are the moments
These are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives
We can't go on
Thinking it's wrong
To speak our minds
I've gotta let out what's inside
Is there love tonight
When everyone's dreaming
Can we get it right?
Yeah, well can we get it right?
Cause these are the days worth living
These are the years we're given
And these are the moments
These are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives
Even if hope was shattered
I know it wouldn't matter
Because these are the moments
These are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives...

There will come a time with no more tears
and love will not break your heart but dismiss your fears</center>

x 100. That's funny. Keeps making me laugh! If I was at a funeral and heard one of those, I'd be like, wha...? And then I'd start laughing. Hard.
I always laugh at inappropriate times!

I still think Ask Me How I Am would be the perfect funeral song.

I'd have too go with Yesterdays by Switchfoot and Into the West. Very good songs for me. =)

Apocalyptica - Farewell
It's so sad and beautiful song.

Either "Village Lanterne" by Blackmore's Night, "Into The West" by Annie Lennox or "Matkan Lopussa" by Moonsorrow. Or all three.
Lyrics for those three songs are SO fitting and so powerful in that sense.

Well, 'Wonderwall' by Oasis, obviously. 'Never Think' by Rob Pattinson, 'Missing you' by Puff Daddy and last but not least 'Death and all of his friends' by Coldplay.
