I'm not quite sure what constitutes appropriate funeral music, though.

true, especially if your parents are there and its a rock song and they'd vvy for something more suitable which is something you hate.

Not morbid at all, simply a fact of life.

 

Mine would have to be Your Time Is Near from the Caesars' album Paper Tigers: I was working in Africa when I got the news that my Father had passed away. I listened to that album all the way home and the lyrics really hit home.
