Song ideas for funerals

Songs have always been part of funerals. Your personal choice of songs for funerals helps both celebrate and remember the passing of a loved one.

Whether a traditional sacred piece such as “Ave Maria”, or a song that has special memories, having that sung live at a funeral adds an extra level of love, care and personalisation to the service.
