Music and Hymns

This page lists songs and hymns which are regularly requested at funerals (usually because their lyrics are particularly meaningful). It's just to give you a few ideas.

 

The link to Listen takes you to a version on YouTube. Note that it may NOT be the version which the crematorium have in their music library. If any of the links fail to work (it may be that the video has been removed), please let me know (you can use the form at the foot of the home page).

 

Also, you might wish to take a look at my blog post "Multimedia at Crematoria" for some interesting information.
