A couple that have already been mentioned. In addition to those: "Puff The Magic Dragon."

Another: The Navy Hymn, particularly if sung by a large choir.
Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

Amazing Grace and How Great Thou Art were regulars at nearly every funeral I have attended…I can’t hear either without taking a sad trip down memory lane.

Beethoven's 9th Symphony, 4th Movement, "Ode to Joy". Particularly when there is a really killer choir.
"I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."
Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II.

When I was a kid I would play my Dad's old 45 of " Don't take your guns to town" It did the trick

"My Old Man" by the Zac Brown Band. My father passed away 8 years ago and this song resonates with me. I tear up every time I hear it.

Amazing Grace on the pipes, because it usually meant we were burying a co-worker.

Luckenbach, Texas (Back to the Basics of Love) by Waylon Jennings. Reminds me of the late 1970s and my mom. She loved it. She's been gone 10 years already.
American Trilogy by Elvis Presley.
And, as stupid as it may seem, The House That Built Me by Miranda Lambert. The lyrics wreck me. I've done what she describes before she even wrote the song. I won't even listen to it anymore.
