An obvious suggestion would be the Mass in B Minor, which is Bach's greatest symphonic work. As someone already suggested, the Agnus Dei, an Alto solo, is a very good piece for funeral music.

On the other hand, I would recomend several other pieces that are less known, keyboard works that recieve less attention. One would be the French Overture, also in B Minor, particularly the Sarabande, which is a slow baroque dance. Next, the Capriccio in B Flat (which is subtitled 'sopra la Lontananza del suo Fratello Dilettissimo' or 'on the loss of a beloved brother'). Specifically in this work, consider the third movement (Adagissimo), which uses chromatic and minor harmonies to throw up a very sad atmosphere.

Also listen to the eighth prelude and fugue of the first book of the Well-Tempered Klavier; the 16th prelude of the same book; 22nd and 24th preludes from the second book; the second movement of the Italian Concerto; the fifteenth and twenty-first variations of the Goldberg Variations; and perhaps even the Aria of the Goldberg Variations.
