Answer 2

My son died on Dec. 30. We played Brad Paisley's "When I get where I'm going". It was so beautiful. My baby was only 27 years old. He found out he had a brain tumor in Nov and was dead by Dec. 30.

When I Get Where I'm Going
By Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton


When I get where I'm going
On the far side of the sky
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly
I'm gonna land beside a lion
And run my fingers through his mane
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here
I'm gonna walk with my grand daddy
And he'll match me step for step
And I'll tell him how I missed him
Every minute since he left
Then I'll hug his neck
So much pain and so much darkness
In this world we stumble through
All these questions I can't answer
So much work to do
But when I get where I'm going
And I see my maker's face
I'll stand forever in the light
Of his amazing grace
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
Hallelujah
I will love and have no fear
When I get where I'm going
Yeah when I get where I'm going

Answer 6

why would u want a good sad song about dying. And, if you're asking for planning a funeral; choose a happy thoughtful song that reflects that person's character.

But, I think "wind beneath my wings" is nice.

Answer 11

"Go Rest High" by Vince Gill, we played it at my mom's funeral (she committed suicide in July), I will never be able to listen to that song again. "Time of your life" by Green Day is a good one too, they played it at my friend's funeral (he was 28 and died of a massive heart attack) last April. I don't think that I will ever be able to listen to either again or at least not without thinking about dying.
