ABC's Of Funeral Lyrics

When individuals are preparing funeral lyrics for an upcoming ceremony, they should flip through some old books until they can find something they are relatively happy with. Many musical acts over the ages have produced wonderful bits of poetry, and people would do well to research these bands.

If people are looking for truly emotional lyrics, nothing beats the emotions of Beatles songs. John Lennon and McCartney wrote hundreds of songs together during the 1960s. Many of these songs are still considered the greatest ever written. Some of the words can be used in ceremonies to honor loved ones.

Hymns are always good choices. In fact, most of the greatest hymns are several centuries old and are steeped in religious language. Men and women can look through old hymnbooks to find something that will work for the present age. Most hymns have slow cadences that make them easy to sing.

Classical music can also work well. Old requiems are beautifully written, and organizers can look through the catalogues of Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven until they find something that works for them. The best composers were great at writing both words and music.

A couple of good lines can also be taken some the great American poets. Robert Frost, for example, has had a long relationship with nature. If the deceased individual had loved walks in the woods, then a Frost poem might be the right way to honor him/her. Most Frost poems are delicately written and can be read aloud for effect.

In the end, funeral lyrics should be carefully considered before they are added to the ceremony. Some verses will be better than others, and amateurs might need some help from others to sort things out. With bit of research, the right songs can be chosen for the proceedings. Everyone will heartily approve of what has been done.
