This is something I've been tossing around my head for awhile...
What would you want played at your funeral? Would you want your musical taste represented, or a certain mood set, lyrical content, or anything of the sort? Whether it be individual songs, entire albums, music videos, concerts, etc..
I would want my taste in music to show, regardless of mood, so mine would go something like this:
