It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday, from the movie "Cooley High" It was a movie that was big in the 70's. It is the saddest song I've ever heard for a funeral.

Funny thing that. One of my friends is applying to be a funeral attendant. These are some of her suggestions and some of mine.
If the person who died was in the military and had a love, you could always have someone reword the song Lili Marleen by Willy Fritsch. It's an old wW2 song. It's really hard to download, so just go to http://eri.ca/refer/lilimarl.MP3
The lyrics and the English version is at http://www.jilldaniels.com/Lili_Marlene_GERMAN.htm
Other songs are this:
Amazing Grace
What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
Unforgettable - Nat King Cole
My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion
The Dance - Garth Brooks
Just Around the River Bend - Pocahontas
Colours of the Wind - Pocahontas
For You I Will - Teddy Geiger
Follow Me - Uncle *******
Best In Me - Blue
Wild Mountain Thyme - Brobdingnagian Bards
Orinoco Flow - Celtic Woman
With Arms Wide Open - Creed
I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston/Dolly Parton
Circle of Life - Elton John
Time of Your Life - Greenday
You're Beautiful - James Blunt
Goodbye My Lover - James Blunt
Waiting on the World to Change - John Mayer
Right Kind of Wrong - Leanne Rimes
Hanging By A Moment - Lifehouse
Falling Into You and A Million Tears by Kasey Chambers are really beautiful, especially if the person has had hardships in their life (for the former).
If it's a male, then you could try:
The One - Blu Cantrell
My personal favourite for this is Breathe by Anna Nalick, and I'm going to have that for my funeral.
2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,
can you help me unravel my latest mistake,
I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to critisize,
hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason
'Cause you can't jump the track,we're like cars on a cable
and life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button girl,
So cradle your head in you hands
And breathe, just breathe,
Woah breathe, just breathe
May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
Just today he sat down to the flask in his fist,
Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year.
Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
But my God it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him, maybe I'll just sing about it.
Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe, just breathe,
Woah breathe, just breathe
There's a light at each end of this tunnel, you shout
'Cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
These mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around.
2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, its no longer
inside of me, threatening the life they belong to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to
Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe
woah breathe, just breathe,
oh breathe, just breathe.
