How do you decide on a funeral song?

There are endless options for funeral songs out there so making a decision can seem overwhelming!

If your loved one’s service is a traditional funeral service, you might want to stick with more traditional song choices (for example, ‘Amazing Grace’ or ‘The Prayer’). If the service is a celebration of life or memorial service, it might be more appropriate to choose music that is more reflective of your loved one (such as your loved one’s favourite song or a song whose lyrics remind you of them or how they lived their life).

Make a List of Songs That Would be a Good Fit

Consider the type of the service, do some homework and make a list of possible songs that you think would be a good fit for your loved one.

Listen To The Words

Words of a song are just as important as the melody. It’s handy to have the lyrics to the songs while you’re listening to them. Delete any songs from your list that don’t meet the desired message.

Ask Family and Friends For Input

When you have reduced down your list of songs, play each song for close family members & friends who knew your loved one well. Ask them which song they think best represents the person. You can also ask if they have any other song suggestions not listed.
