I went to a funeral of an elderly friend who had been divorced from his wife for 20-30 years and never remarried...as the service was ending and people were walking past the casket looking at him one last time..the song “He Stopped Loving Her Today” by George Jones started playing...made me cry thinking that man must’ve lived his life still longing for the love of his life 😞
Tent Revival as seen on youtube: 1 I’m just a weary pilgrim, Plodding thru this world of sin; Getting ready for that city When the saints go marching in. Refrain: When the saints go marching in, When the saints go marching in; Lord I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in. 2 My father loved the Savior, What a soldier he had been! But his steps will be more steady When the saints go marching in. [Refrain] 3 And mother, may God bless her, I can see her now, as then; With a robe of white around her When the saints go marching in. [Refrain] 4 Up there I'll see the Savior Who redeemed my soul from sin, With extended hands He'll greet me When the saints go marching in. [Refrain]
I'm not sure I've heard the whole song; wonder if it was sung at the funeral of this elderly lady this week - she was my hub's coworker's mil but he didn't go to the funeral, just the visitation the night before, where he met the man who'd been asked and had agreed to sing it; think I'll try to ask him if he can find out
Not everyone has had adorable, lovable, kind much-missed 'loved ones'....'I'll Be Glad When You're Dead, You Rascal You'.....'Highway to Hell'....'So Long, Been Good to Know You'.....'I'm Free'........sorry for those who honestly mourn. Those who have been used, screeewed, and abused for decades: you might appreciate some truthiness here.
thought might have some answers today having go to the funeral but he was big Southern Gospel fan, so they actually had a, I think, local group sing a couple of their songs - the first one was "Not in a Million Years"
So many good ideas here. For us it was "You are my Sunshine." Edit - I should explain we all used to sing it in the car when we were little when our Dad was driving and he sang too. It was the only song he actually knew the words to. So when he died, that's what we sang. And also when he was in his last months, sometimes we would sing it as he went to sleep.
We played "What a Wonderful World" for my husband's grandmother's funeral. It was a lovely tribute to a very special person. She was past 100 when she past.
If the person has attended a certain church all their lives, I would ask someone who also attends that is their age. If they didn't . then a series of songs that bring you comfort would be correct.
This is a personal one, but I love The Lord's Prayer, Just a Closer Walk with Thee, and at my mother inlaws funeral we had the Eyes of Texas (she was the first woman cheerleader at the University of Texas). I was so special.
This is a very personal question, but I love "The Lord's Prayer" "Just a Closer Walk with Thee" "How Great Thou Art" and at my mother inlay's funeral we fondly remembered her college days with "The Eyes of Texas" as she was the first women cheerleader of University of Texas Austin. So special.

Danny Boy
No one can sing How Great Thou Art the way the late great Dixie Carter could.
George Winston has some wonderful piano instrumentals and I downloaded one to a CD to give to the funeral home for the service.
They raved about it and said they played it several times during the day.
The name of the song is Color Dance
as seen on youtube:
1 I’m just a weary pilgrim,
Plodding thru this world of sin;
Getting ready for that city
When the saints go marching in.
Refrain:
When the saints go marching in,
When the saints go marching in;
Lord I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in.
2 My father loved the Savior,
What a soldier he had been!
But his steps will be more steady
When the saints go marching in. [Refrain]
3 And mother, may God bless her,
I can see her now, as then;
With a robe of white around her
When the saints go marching in. [Refrain]
4 Up there I'll see the Savior
Who redeemed my soul from sin,
With extended hands He'll greet me
When the saints go marching in. [Refrain]
