Choose A Classic Funeral Hymn For Your Dearly Departed
If you need to choose a good tune for a loved one's interment, consider any of the top 5 choices that are usually played at memorial services. A good funeral song would be something that the deceased would have liked. It is also important that you pick something age appropriate for such a sentimental occasion.
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.
"Over the Rainbow" is another popular score for interments. It was sung by Eva Cassidy. This singer and her music were not popular during her lifetime except in her hometown in Washington. Her tunes were played on a British radio station after her death and became more all the rage after that.
"You Raise me Up" by Westlife is another good choice that will appeal to both the older crown and younger people. The tune has old and new versions with a number of artists lending their voice to memorialize this tune in music history. This score will be a classic favorite for a very long time.
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.
