If you are preparing for a relative's interment, you also have to choose a melody for the memorial. Check out some of the best tunes that are typically used for services. A nice funeral song should be a music score that the deceased would have liked. It is also important to pick something that is appropriate to the age of the deceased.
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 score that will also be appreciated by the younger crowd, consider a modern opera score by Andrea Bocelli and his duet partner Sarah Brightman. "Time to Say Goodbye" is the English language version of "Con te Partiro" which was Bocelli's popular hit song. This is a famous song from way back and still a current favorite.
The score "Over the Rainbow" is also a popular tune today although the singer, Eva Cassidy was not famous till after her death. This melody was played on UK radio after she had passed away and became an instant hit. She was previously only known in Washington, in her home town.
"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 rocks icon Elvis Presley, and crooners like Vera Lyn and Celine Dion also have scores that are ideal for interments. Select a funeral song that is fitting for the occasion which guests can also appreciate listening too. Make the tunes extra special by playing something your deceased relative would also like if he were still around.
