As far as I know I'm the only one who has stumbled on this one, so you're getting it here first.
At the end of the song Bungalow Bill on the White album is a little piece played on an oboe (maybe?) with some light clapping - like a small audience.
Slow it to half speed and listen. It's a funeral march. The hand clapping turns into the sounds of the horses drawing the casket and the slowed down musical piece seals the effect. It is unmistakable.
This picture of a famous funeral (http://www.tapsbugler.com/images/JFK_Caisson.jpg) is an example of that sort of funeral procession. It isn't the funeral you'll hear - but is an example of the kind of procession you'll hear.
;D
