Please leave your suggestions. If possible, leave the name of the hymn and more information about why it touches you.

Amazing Grace
This is a classic memorial song that touches a lot of people. I love it played on bagpipes.3 points
Morning Has Broken
The version by Cat Stevens lifts my spirit. Beautiful. Many people do not realize this is an old Welsh hymn.2 points
The Day Thou Gavest
I love the premise that, although the "day" (or life) is over, in another part of the world (or another realm) it is just beginning.
Used for both my parents' funerals and always gives me hope :)1 point

- On America's Got Talent, a man sang If Tomorrow Never Comes, recorded by Garth Brooks and written by Brooks and Kent Blazy. It is lovely and touching and I think it would be a really wonderful song to play at a memorial.
Some of the words:
If my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes
Very touching.

- I'm so happy to see a lens on this topic. At a service for a friend's husband, the music she choose (his rock favorites) were totally inappropriate. It sounded like a party. I flew into the manager's office and she promptly switched the cd to a soft medley of Beatles music. She had previously tried to talk my friend out of her selections to no avail. Squid Angel Blessings to you.
