Music is a powerful tool. It evokes emotion. It awakens memories. Music plays a key role in the funeral process. Whether it be a soft instrumental to break the silence, a favorite song to play during a memorial, or a hymn to be played during the service, music is an important aspect of almost all funerals. Selecting music to personalize a funeral service is becoming a more popular idea. 

When it comes to selecting funeral songs, something you should first take into account is what is the best kind of music to play at a funeral? The obvious answer to this is to play music that the deceased enjoyed listening to. The point of the service is to celebrate their life and allow loved ones to say goodbye. Playing music that resonated with them is one such way to accomplish this.

To help with the process, we have compiled a list of commonly selected songs:

See You Again- Wiz Khalifa & Charlie Puth                                         

Hallelujah- Jeff Buckley
I’ll Be Missing You- Puff Daddy (feat. Faith Evans & 112)         
Time To Say Goodbye- Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman 
It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday- Boyz II Men                   
One Sweet Day- Mariah Cary with Boyz II Men
Tears In Heaven- Eric Clapton                      
I Will Remember You- Sarah McLachlan

Wind Beneath My Wings- Bette Midler
I Can Only Imagine- MercyMe                                                                           
You Raise Me Up- Josh Groban
Somewhere Over The Rainbow- Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole

I have finally decided to take the plunge and add a blog to my site. I always wanted an easy way to share information with visitors and I'm super excited to start this journey. Keep coming back to my site and check for updates right here on the blog.

Anyone can make one:
For better or worse, anyone can write a blog post about anything they want. Everyone has a voice and the best voices will rise to the top.

The writer can show their personality:
In blog posts, the writer has more leeway to add in their voice and personality than other types of writing.

Blogs are a great form of mass communication:
You can help people, learn new things, entertain your audience-the possibilities are endless and amazing. Blogging opens up all of these to a very wide audience.

You can make money:

Get the right blog going and you can make a lot of money through advertising and sponsored posts.

It allows people to craft better thoughts:
Instead of reading haphazard, uneducated Facebook statuses, it's much better to see people's thought process in a well-written blog post.

You can establish a community:
Blogging allows you to connect with other individuals who share the same interests. Sharing ideas and opinions within your community helps establish yourself as a thought leader.

Good for SEO:
Keeping content on your site fresh and relevant, you can use your blog to boost the search engine ranking (SEO) of your site and your business.

It brings people back to your site:

If your blog is strong enough and updated regularly, people will come back looking for more and bring traffic back to your site as well.

It's free:
It costs you a grand total of zero dollars to post to the blog, so if you have something to say, there's nothing to stop you.

You can establish yourself as a thought leader:

A blog is a great place for your original thoughts, and it can be a wonderful way to show off your individuality. If people like your ideas, you can become a thought leader in your industry!
