There are many things to consider when planning your farewell. My Day helps make it a little easier while ensuring you've covered the most important points.
Have you ever heard a song or a piece of music and thought it is something you would like played at your funeral?
You might have mentioned a song, or a selection of songs to friends, family or even casual acquaintances, but do you have them written down anywhere? If not, how would your loved ones know?
This is one of the reasons MyDay was set up. To record your parting wishes, including what songs you would like played at your funeral, your final farewell. Your choice of music can add something meaningful and heartfelt to your goodbye. Alternatively, you may not want your funeral to be a sorrowful event and you might want to inject a bit of humour, or something to remind your loved ones of your life and character.
Below is a list of some of the most popular songs and pieces of music, sectioned into themes, to help you and to give you some inspiration. Have a listen, ponder what you might like and then add your choices to your plan, in the relevant MyDay section.
Still struggling? Just think of your favourite songs and why they mean something to you.
It doesn't have to be what you might think of as a traditional funeral song. Take a look through your music selection, past and present, for ideas. You might want a soundtrack from a favourite film. Perhaps a song you and your friends sung and danced to in your youth. Maybe a piece of music which has lyrics which reflect what you love in life. Or for some, the choice might be a piece of classical music, or a hymn.
Remember, the goal is to create a farewell that's true to who you are and eases the burden on your loved ones. My Day is here to help make this process a little easier, ensuring your legacy lives on just as you want it to.
Feel free to contact us anytime for whatever reason. Rest assured, we’re here for you and your family.
