Sorry, submitted by mistake. I was going to say ...

There's a lovely classical piece, appropriately called "Epitaph"

by a French composer called Louis Vierne.

It's peaceful, contemplative, and moving ... without being sombre.

Here ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVw3hADCDM8

Hymns?

This was played at the end of top gear a while ago, very moving instrumental by Brian Eno - it brings a tear to my eye when I hear it.

Not sure if these have been posted as I haven't looked but there is "Footprints by Leona Lewis or this by Kristen Chenoweth which she actually sung at the funeral of her colleague from the West Wing......

Eva Cassidy's version of 'Time After Time' is one of the loveliest songs I've ever heard. I can never sucessfully post the link to youtube, but here goes. If it doesn't work maybe someone else would oblige?
