Yes Matt, that would be my choice too (got that pencilled in for mine and
got the CD).
The Dark Island seems to be popular as well and can be played on larger
chanters, I think.
Both suitable tunes and, to my mind, sound far better on NSP.
Of course, Scottish may not be what's required (I also have some hammer
dulcimer tunes copied to a blank CD just in case I pop my clogs - really
nice, fast happy stuff - don't want it to be too miserable - I'm generally a
happy bloke).

I don't know if there is such a thing a
'NSP music that would be traditional for a funeral'
but the Scottish Border lament Flow'rs of the Forest has resonance for
many, and there is a recording on Kathryn Tickell's 'Borderlands' if I
recall correctly.
