But I would like these to be played at the end...with the later to escort people away..

When I go, I want them to play Luther’s ‘A Mighty Fortress is our God’.
Only because it was the theme song of my favorite show, many years ago:

Very good (still one of my favorites even though I always manage to spell it with an extra “i” - seem to get it mixed up with paramecium).....
