As for 3 favorite songs, that's way to few choices but some of my favorites at the moment:
Flying Dutchman - Tori Amos
A Spoonful Weighs a Ton - The Flaming Lips
This Side of the Blue - Joanna Newsom
For song played at my funeral, 'This Side of the Blue' would actually be a good pick for that too. Or one of the Kristen Hersh's covers from her "Holy Single"; 'Jesus Christ' (the Alex Chilton/Big Star song), 'Amazing Grace', or 'Will the Circle Be Unbroken'.

Since I can't choose only 3 favorite songs, I'll choose 3 of my favorites with love in the title for now.
To Sir With Love - Lulu
Love Hurts - Nazareth
Still Loving You - Scorpions
Since I hate to think about dying, because I really don't ever want to go I guess one of these 2 songs would do.
Hello Goodbye - The Beatles
Kickstart My Heart - Motley Crue
Anybody want to choose Lake of Fire or Another One Bites the Dust?

Fade away would be nice, too.Some great picks in here... they did this topic on a local radio station a couple of years ago, and a guy called in who said he wanted In The Living Years to guilt his kids.
Personally, I'd go with:
Song - Lewis Taylor
Great Gig In The Sky - Pink Floyd
Can't think of a third one offhand, but I'd want something a little more upbeat (if not uptempo). Maybe Hello Goodbye.
