I'm about as non-religious as you can get, but my family is pretty Catholic and I attended Catholic school growing up; as a result, most of the people that I have known for a long time also some from Catholic families... so, I have been to a lot of funerals in the Catholic Church. The one song that always chokes me up - even just thinking about it - is the hymn "Be Not Afraid", because I have heard it at just about every funeral I have ever attended. The other one that always gets me is "Taps" (or is it called "Last Post"?). When I was in grade six or so, my great-grandfather died, and as a veteran of *both* World Wars, he was given a full military funeral, complete with 21-gun salute, bagpipes, the ceremonial flag-folding, and playing that tune on trumpet or bugle or whatever it is. Those moments of that song are etched into my brain more sharply than a lot of other memories are.
