Picking the right song for a funeral isn’t simple, but use these 5 tips to find the song that feels right.
1. Look Up the Lyrics - Listen closely to the songs you’re considering. Look up the lyrics to make sure they have the meaning you think they will.
2. Personalize it - Consider using a song that your loved one already loved or that has memories attached to it. If you can, look through their personal music collection.
3. Set the Tone - Music has a way of setting the entire tone of an event. It’s important to consider this when choosing a song.
4. Ask family and friends for their input! Maybe they know what song your loved one wanted or they have suggestions.
5. Before you start the search, consider what you want this song to say about your loved one and how you want them to be remembered.
