Funeral Song Picking For Funeral Ceremonies
If you are in need of some tunes for a relative's memorial service, consider a classic funeral song that remains popular through the years. There are many choices but some may not be appropriate for you. It is important to pick a nice tune that you and your guests would also appreciate.
One of the music industry's most successful musicians, Frank Sinatra sang a few tunes that are popular for memorial services. One of the most commonly used is "My Way". Old people and young ones too will like this melody. This was written by Sinatra's friend Paul Anka when the former wanted to quit the showbiz industry.
For something between a classic and modern score, consider the duet of Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli. "Time to Say Goodbye" is the English rendition of his operatic hit, the "Con te Partiro." Bocelli is the biggest selling opera singer in modern times whose music has also captured the younger market.
Eva Cassidy was little known outside a small circle of music lovers in Washington where she was from. She was a vocalist and guitarist who performed for local weddings and parties. Her most popular tune, "Over the Rainbow", gained popularity in Britain after her death in 1996 when the song was played on BBC Radio.
A modern band called Westlife has also produced a popular music score for memorial services. Their melody "You Raise Me Up" is a tune that young people can relate too. It came from a classic score that even older people will appreciate. It is something ideal for interment services with younger people in attendance.
Other musicians like Celine Dion, Elvis Presley, or Vera Lyn have made contributions to music used for interments. A lot of their compositions and melodies have been used for various occasions. Choose a timeless funeral song that means something special to you and your dearly departed.
