Try Not To Breathe by R.E.M.

I wanted that to be played at my funeral but my family said it’s wrong. Haha

This bluegrass gospel medley would be nice for a funeral.

BlueRidge: Get Down On Your Knees and Pray,Let Me Walk By Your Side,The Old Crossroads,Working On A Building

There are versions by many bands, but BlueRidge has my favorite vocals.
