Things to consider
Each of us has our own taste and choice of music. On this page I am offering some early thoughts for you to indicate the range of choices others have made to me in the past.
Hymns:
Many people consider it traditional to have a hymn and request Psalm 23 ( The Lord is My Shepherd ); Abide with Me ( has links to a passion for football ); Amazing Grace or The Old Rugged Cross.
More recent Hymns:
Shine Jesus Shine - Lord of all Hopefulness - Lord of the Dance;
Brighter choices:
All Things Bright & Beautiful or Morning Has Broken;
Reminders of wedding days:
Love Divine, Praise My Soul; strong hymns Jerusalem, Rock of Ages
Popular Songs / Singers:
Many prefer a song that has strong associations to their loved one, such as: Unforgettable - Softly as I leave you - My Way. Or they have a particular singer: Jim Reeves - Perry Como - Frank Sinatra - Dean Martin - Vera Lynn - Mario Lanza. Many choose modern song: Wind beneath my Wings - the theme from Titanic - Fields of Gold - Circle of Life - Candle in the Wind. Or singers Eva Cassidy - Robbie Williams - Rod Stewart or big bands such as Glen Miller.
Classical Pieces:
Often chosen are: Nimrod - Ave Maria - Lesley Garrett - Barbers Adagio for Strings - The Three Tenors - Andrea Bocelli - The Pearl Fishers - O mio babbinio caro - Time to Say Goodbye - Nessun Dorma.
“Alternative Choices”:
