This song list is quite long, but by no means complete.If you know of other suitable funeral songs, you are welcome to send in your recommendations by filling in the form at the bottom of the page.

If you want to download a copy of a song, any of the songs with Apple iTunes can be purchased for a dollar or two. You can copy them from your computer to an ipod, iphone or CD.

You could make a CD of all the songs that were played at a funeral service (plus a few of the deceased person's favourite songs) for a nice memorial gift for everyone that attended the funeral - because they could listen to the CD anytime to bring back fond memories of the person who has passed away.* (This idea came from Next Gen Memorials - Providers of Beautiful Urns and Memorial Keepsakes)

    Unusual and Unconventional Funeral Songs

    Here are some "different" choices for songs to play at a funeral.
    I have never personally heard any of them being played at a funeral...but this list was devised after I heard a radio program where people were asked to phone in and name unusual songs that were played at funerals they have attended.

    Please Be Very Careful: These songs could offend!

    I would only ever choose to play any of these songs at a funeral if they were either the absolute most favourite song of the deceased person, or if that person had a wicked sense of humour ;)
