Contemporary Christian songs for a funeral We have an ever expanding repertoire of backing tracks (with on-screen lyrics if you require them) over at Worship Backing Band if you are in need of accompaniment.

Many of these songs you will have sung before but the words will take on new meaning when you consider them for a service of remembrance. The lyrics of songs become so much more poignant when remembering the life of a loved one.

Please feel free to add your own ideas into the comments. I may have miscategorised the odd one as I’ve made some assumptions on artists I wasn’t familiar with. We’ve been asked the same question again, this time for a memorial service where there will be many people of different faiths so what follows is a compilation of hymns and Christian songs as well as so-called “secular” songs that have appropriate lyrics. Over the intervening years, that article has consistently been one of the most popular on the website and has attracted comments such as “This has been the biggest help of all looking through 4 pages of trying to find the best ideas for funeral music”. What followed was a really interesting “crowd sourced” list. Obviously our list below isn’t all you can choose from but hopefully it helps you as you make your music selections to remember and honour your loved one.Suitable songs for a funeral or memorial serviceĪ few years ago we were asked to suggest some songs for a funeral. The list includes classics from Vera Lynn, Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole but also contemporary selections from Josh Groban and Robbie Williams.įor funerals held at a Church some of the more popular and stirring Hymns include Amazing Grace, All Things Bright and Beautiful, The Lord is My Shepherd, Abide With Me, Blessed Assurance, Thine Be The Glory, Here I Am Lord, How Great Thou Art, All Things Bright and Beautiful, Because He Lives, All The Way My Saviour Leads Me and I Heard The Voice of Jesus Say. Our list, in no particular order, contains 50 of the most popular funeral songs of all time. The combination of photos and music can be an extremely moving and poignant element of the service. When families have a DVD Tribute screen at the funeral they will often choose one or two additional pieces of music that plays in the background as the special photos are screened. Often one piece is played to commence the service and then one as the coffin/casket is wheeled out at the conclusion of the service. Families often choose a couple of pieces of music to play during the service. Most funeral venues have state of the art audio visual equipment to ensure that the music sounds just perfect on the day of the service. Are you looking for a beautiful piece of music to play at a funeral to remember a family member or friend? We have complied 50 of the most popular song choices that families play to assist you in making the right selection.
