Music allows us to communicate and connect with our emotions without having to say a word. When someone we deeply care about passes away, it’s hard to process and describe how we feel. Music allows us to channel our grief and say what we can’t in a beautiful way.
Remembering your loved one through music at a funeral service or celebration of life is a powerful way to pay tribute to them, especially if we make a playlist with music you know they used to love. Did your loved one listen to Queen, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and other rock bands? What a better way to remember them than playing rock funeral songs at their service or celebration of life? Below you’ll find a playlist Funeral Caring USA has created to remember your loved one.
