Can anyone help me with funeral songs for my Dad?

My Dad died unexpectedly last week. He didn't leave us any funeral instructions and I'm trying to get it right.

I need something that isn't particularly sad, he was quite a character and would've liked something a bit catchy.

He was a big fan of The Eagles, James Taylor, Eric Clapton and similar.

Would anyone with better knowledge than me be able to suggest something? I only know the mainstream songs.

@Podiki

Thank you so much for everyone's suggestions, I've just come back to this.

We went with Sweet baby James by James Taylor in the end. My Dad fancied himself as a but of a cowboy given his quirky dress sense, it seemed apt even though I know it was written about his nephew. I knew he loved the song

Beautiful song. One of my favourites. Sending you love, OP.

At my Grandad's funeral we had "bring him home" from Les Misérables
