Choose A Classic Funeral Hymn For Your Beloved

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.

Frank Sinatra's "My Way" is a classic tune that has been used for many decades. Older people may appreciate this choice more than the younger set. Paul Anka wrote the score with Sinatra recording it in 1968. Anka's inspiration to write this tune was from Sinatra's own sentiments of quitting the music business.

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.

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.
