what is a good slow song to be played at a funeral of a teenage girl?

Question

i am contributing one song to the funeral and i need help.

Answer 1

I will remember you, or Arms of the Angel, both by Sarah McLachlan

Answer 2

Why must it be slow. I know its sad to everyone there but its a time to rejoice for she is released from these earthly bounds. She is at peace, having a marvelous time as a matter of fact. She will watch you all as you remember her and be glad to see so many have come. Tell ya what, if you don't know what her favorite song was, pray on it tonight and see what song comes to you tomorrow. My sister let me know a long time ago that she wants "Spirit In The Sky" played at her funeral.......that is a joyous song no matter what your mood, it makes you smile. I know its an old one, but can't you hear it now.....spirit in the sky...I find it very uplifting!

Answer 3

Time to Say Goodbye - Andrea Broceli and Sarah Brightman
Funeral March - Chopin

Slow, classical music would be best. No rock, pop or rap. The less vocals the better.

The song Time to Say Goodbye is a very pretty song. You'll love it.

Cryin' For Me- Toby Kieth I’m gonna leave out that smile I’m gonna leave out you my buddy even with the undeniable fact that it hurts the way it ended up I’d do all of it back So play it candy in heaven ‘reason that’s superb the place you wanna be I’m no longer crying by way of fact i've got self belief so sorry for you I’m crying for me Who you would be in the present day- Kenny Chesney Sunny days seem to harm the main positioned on the soreness like a heavy coat i've got self belief you everywhere i bypass I see your smile, I see your face I hear you giggling in the rain nevertheless won't have the ability to have self belief you're long gone It ain't trustworthy you died too youthful Like a narrative that had only started The demise tore the pages all away God knows how I leave out you each and all of the hell that i've got been by using only understanding no person would desire to take your place from time to time i ask your self who you would be in the present day

Answer 5

You don't mention religious affiliation of the family, but if they are Christian, I recommend "Friends" by Michael W. Smith

This website plays the music and lyrics:
http://www.angelfire.com/my/sun/Friends_Are_Forever.html

And here are the lyrics

Packing up the dreams of God planted
In the fertile soil of you
Can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say "never"
Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends.

With the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you'll live in
Is the strength that now you show
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say "never"
Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends.

Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends

No a lifetime's not too long to live as friends

Answer 6

Go Rest High by Vince Gill is an incredible song.
It's about a guy, but if someone were to sing it it could be made to be about a girl

Answer 7

Imogen Heap's version of Hallelujah or perhaps something by Kate Havenik (Grace, perhaps?) or Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton

Answer 8

Its sad to hear that, especially since she was a young girl. Back to your question:

Elton John-"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", "Candle in the Wind"

The Beatles-"And I love her", "In my life"

Peter and Gordon-"I go to pieces"

311-"Amber"

Los Lonely Boys-"Heaven"

Sorry for the loss. Personally, I would use 'Let it Be' because it's more uplifting than the other two. But pick a song you think she would like.

Answer 10

With you in your dreams of Hanson or if you like spanish music try "Se le apago la luz" of Alejandro Sanz
