"My Way" by Frank Sinatra is a long time favorite for memorial services. It has been played at interments for many years. It can be appreciated by both young and old. It was recorded by Frank is 1968 but was written by Paul Anka. The tune was inspired by Sinatra who told Anka that he wanted to quite the music industry.

If you want a classic but still a current favorite, consider "Time to Say Goodbye" sung by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman. This is an English version of Bocelli's classic opera song, the "Con te Partiro". It is one of the most sellable of the singer's melodies.

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.

"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.

Artists like Elvis, Celine Dion, and Vera Lyn among others, have made major contributions to the music industry. Many of their scores have been used in special occasions including interments. Pick a funeral song that will mean something special to you and your deceased relative.
