There are so many pieces that could be chosen but below I give you a list of pieces that at some time or another I have played in these circumstances and like very much personally. I have listed them in an order which starts from solemn meditative pieces and possibly more 'religious' to those pieces which uplift the emotions and give a joyful experience. All of them can be plucked out from YouTube and are played on the organ. In some cases very fine organs that are not available to us locally!
So I am hopeful this goes in some way to your request:
Purcell Dido’s Lament
Johann Sebastian Bach Erbarm’ Dich Mein, O Herre Gott
Karl Jenkins Benedictus
Johann Sebastian Bach O Mensch, bewein’ dein’ Sunde gross BWV 622
George Thalben Ball Elegy
Gabriel Fauré Pie Jesu
Percy Whitlock Folk Tune
Remo Giazotto Adagio in G minor on a figured bass by Albinoni
John Ireland Elegy (arr. Alec Rowley)
Max Reger Benedictus
Gerald FInzi Prelude
Herbert Howells Psalm Prelude Set one No.1
Edward Elgar Nimrod
Walford Davies Solemn Melody
Johann Sebastian Bach Piece d’Orgue BWV 572
