If that was what the person (or you, if it's for future reference) was into, then yes, it's appropriate. If you're just picking songs to see if they will shock the crowd, without reference to personal tastes, then no, it isn't.
For example, a friend of mine told how at a cremation she attended for a friend of hers, who enjoyed cross dressing, they played "Disco Inferno" as the coffin was preparing to move to the crematorium. Also, as an added bonus, when the music started, a hand wearing a long black glove, shot out from between the curtains!
Because the song, and the glove, summed up the person who they were saying goodbye to, it was entirely appropriate to the occasion. Go with your instincts, and with what the person would have wanted, and don't succumb to society pressure. I mean, what is the point of playing something like Amazing Grace or Abide with Me, if you know the person never listened to either of those songs in their life, just because you know that the majority of those attending would like them? I'd go with The Prodigy.

for some people yes for others no...is it a young kid that liked that band or even just that song (or even an older person who was into that type of music/song) if it is for a grandparent or parent that didn't like that type of music then no

Yes, if your family or the bereaved family has a fantastic sense of humor.
