Best funeral songs

[Sanx]

Inspired somewhat by a couple of recent threads. If you could be a fly on the wall at your own funeral, which songs would you pick for maximum comedic effect? Bad taste essential.

I think it somewhat depends on whether you're being cremated or buried, but:

• Chris Rea - Highway to Hell
• Doctor & the Medics - Spirit in the Sky
• If buried, to be played as the coffin descends:
  
  • Going underground - The Jam
  • Down down, deeper and down - Status Quo
• If cremated, to be played as the coffin slides into the oven
  
  • Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire
  • Meat Puppets - Lake of Fire
  • I'm on Fire - Jerry Lee Lewis

Any more ideas?

I've told Gassit Girl that I want that Clarence Carter song "Strokin'" played at my funeral

Sorry - Road to Hell, by Chris Rea. Not sure which one I was thinking of when I wrote it originally.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird

"If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change. "
