Default Funeral Songs

One day we're all going to die. It's one of life's few certainties. What would you want played at your funeral?

The challenge: but together a tracklist of 40-50 or so minutes of music that you would consider to be your "Funeral Album". This could be how you want to be remembered, what you consider to be an audio-biographical retelling of major events in life through music, emblematic of your personality or just some songs you like. I'll kick mine off:

To be played in order.
1. Bron Yr Aur - Led Zeppelin
2. Parade - The Knife
3. The Sun Shines Down On Me - Daniel Johnston
4. I'll Fly Away - O Brother Where Art Thou Soundtrack (don't know the actual group)
5. Leva's Polka - Loituma (I think it's Finnish. It's about dancing, because you can and it's fun and it annoys the parents of girls you're dancing with. Win win win)
6. Ramble On - Led Zeppelin
7. Girlfriend in a Coma - The Smiths
8. Love You - The Free Design
9. You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You're Gone - Bob Dylan
10. Inflammatory Writ - Joanna Newsom
11. Here Comes the Sun - The BEatles
12. I Will Return I Promise - Beth Jeans Houghten and the Hooves of Destiny
13. Art Snob Solutions - of Montreal
14. This Charming Man - The Smiths
15. Don't Think Twice, It's All Right - Bob Dylan
16. Musica Poetic - Carl Orff and Gunild Kinsman

Mad props if someone can point out the lyrical bonus of song 3 if played at the funeral.

So, what about you guys? What would you want?
