Or, if she liked the Rat Pack, "I'll Be Seeing You" by Dean Martin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/songs-for-a-funeralmemorial#post-2153309 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 21:26:01 +0000 MamaG 2153309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At my MIL's service last fall they used Meanwhile back at Mama's by Tim McGraw. It was very fitting to her and her family. </p> <p>I love the version of Over the Rainbow that you mention. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/songs-for-a-funeralmemorial#post-2153308 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 21:25:21 +0000 lawbee11 2153308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: Also thought of Time After Time? I love the Cyndi Lauper version but the one by Eva Cassidy is beautiful and slower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/songs-for-a-funeralmemorial#post-2153301 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 21:19:26 +0000 loveisstrange 2153301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I honestly never heard her listen to too much music of her own. My mom said she liked big band, "rat pack" kind of stuff.</p> <p>My only personal stipulation is no religious music. </p> <p>@lawbee11: I was thinking about using the Iz K version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow, actually.</p> <p>@cmomma17: I love Yesterday. Might look into that one.</p> <p>@Mrs. Pen: I love me some Josh Groban, but that song would DESTROY my mother. I cant do that to her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/songs-for-a-funeralmemorial#post-2153290 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 21:12:59 +0000 Greentea 2153290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry for your loss.</p> <p>What kind of music did your grandmother like?</p> <p>Was she into swing, or big band, or classical? Did she secretly like Willy Nelson? We were a little unconventional for my dad's visitation and played music he loved. I guess I take the celebrate life approach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/songs-for-a-funeralmemorial#post-2153289 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 21:12:43 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2153289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry for your loss :(</p> <p>I know it's a bit of a sobbing song, but I love To where you are by Josh Groban. We played it at my cousins funeral. </p> <p>I like Lawbee's idea of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. </p> <p>Come Away with me by Norah Jones?<br /> In My Life by the Beatles? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/songs-for-a-funeralmemorial#post-2153281 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 21:09:45 +0000 Miss Ariel 2153281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At my mom's funeral we used The Circle Game. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/songs-for-a-funeralmemorial#post-2153274 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 21:04:39 +0000 lawbee11 2153274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Somewhere Over the Rainbow? Time Of Your Life? Sorry for your loss! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/songs-for-a-funeralmemorial#post-2153272 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 21:03:41 +0000 mamimami 2153272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you heard "The Best Day" by Taylor Swift? I heard that recently at a memorial, during a video montage, and it was so lovely and touching. She looped it smoothly and it really wasn't too noticeable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/songs-for-a-funeralmemorial#post-2153269 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 21:01:36 +0000 cmomma17 2153269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry for your loss :heart:<br /> Music recommendations can be tough since tastes vary so much. At my dads service in January my mom ended up choosing "will the circle be unbroken" for everyone to sing together.<br /> I had also wanted Fare thee well love by the rankin family and my sister wanted yesterday by the Beatles </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/songs-for-a-funeralmemorial#post-2153259 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 20:52:09 +0000 loveisstrange 2153259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My grandmother passed away and my mom has me doing a photo slideshow to show at her memorial lunch thing we're doing. Im stuck on music to play. My FIL was easy, we just played his music from his band.</p> <p>I dont want people sobbing, but I want something nice to go along with the photos. They cover her whole life and include pictures of my great-grandparents, my mom and her siblings and all the grandchildren and great grandchildren. </p>
