My aunt died recently at 100 + years old.
They played an Elvis song as we went into the church and there were champagne glasses and a bottled of champagne on the coffin for us all to have a drink on her.

When the vicar chap had said his bit a musician sat by the coffin and sang "She'll have to go" it was an old Jim Reeves song but he sang "He'll have to go.

We then went orf to the big fire place and sent or on her way.
She had planned all this in advance, best of all was the big wad she left over the bar in the Top Brink Todmorden so we could all get blathered while a CD we had made of all her favourite music was played. A good day out was had by all, except my old aunty.
