The best place to hear Chopin's Funeral March is at an actual funeral, however, as it is not recommended that you crash a funeral, the next best place to hear it would be to go to your local music store and see if they have it on a CD.

There are a few famous funeral dirges. "Funeral March" by Chopin is the one commonly heard on cartoons. A number of funeral marches are heard in Purcell's "Funeral Music for Queen Mary." Handel's "Dead March" is also used a lot at funerals. Thomas Attwood wrote a march titled "Dirge" for Admiral Nelson's funeral. I hope one of these is the one you're looking for. You can hear samples of all of these at Amazon, CD Universe, etc.
