Funeral Music Ideas

Your music selection is one of the most important items in your funeral or memorial service planning.

The music is what people will remember more than anything else.

Music is incredibly healing. It has an amazing power to communicate our feelings.

Choosing the music is twofold. Select songs that were important to the deceased, but also include songs that are meaningful to those that are left behind.

Here are our listings of music categories, including rock, classic, country, children’s songs, heaven and angel songs, instrumental, background music selections, jazz and blues, Christian songs and hymns.

Child’s Funeral Songs

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life, and every fragment of a song holds a mirror to a past moment for someone.

The right song for the funeral or memorial service of a child helps us to see life through a child’s eyes – the unprejudiced way a child sees it.

We hope this selection of songs and videos will bring you some comfort.  I also urge to read  Planning A Funeral For A  Baby.    Whether  the service is for an infant or child, I outline 3 critical things that must be achieved in the service.

Ceremony speaks when words fail.  Music has tremendous impact. It is very powerful.   If the family can establish the significance of what has happened, they can begin to start the grieving process.
