If you are in need of some tunes for a relative's memorial service, consider a classic funeral song that remains popular through the years. There are many choices but some may not be appropriate for you. It is important to pick a nice tune that you and your guests would also appreciate.
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.
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.
"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.
