Funeral Music Selections For Memorial Services
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 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.
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.
