Funeral Hymn Picking 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.

For something between a classic and modern score, consider the duet of Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli. "Time to Say Goodbye" is the English rendition of his operatic hit, the "Con te Partiro." Bocelli is the biggest selling opera singer in modern times whose music has also captured the younger market.

"Over the Rainbow" is another popular score for interments. It was sung by Eva Cassidy. This singer and her music were not popular during her lifetime except in her hometown in Washington. Her tunes were played on a British radio station after her death and became more all the rage after that.

Westlife's "You Raise Me Up" is also a good piece for an interment. This score will appeal to both young and old alike. There are many renditions to this music which has been a favorite for many decades. This will be an ideal music for memorial services for a long time well into the future.

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.
