Thread Name: Funeral Tunes, songs that heal
Subject: RE: Funeral Tunes, songs that heal
One of the hymns I chose for my parents' funerals was "Praise My Soul The King Of Heaven" because it was one of the hymns played at my wedding and I felt it was a good hymn to give praise for their lives.

I also chose "The Day Thou Gavest Lord Is Ended" because I just love it.

For the third hymn I chose "O God Our Help In Ages Past" for my father because he used to be in the army and "Great Is Thy
Faithfullness" for my mother, and a soloist sang "I know that My Redeemer Liveth" G.F. Handel. The music was beautiful and uplifting and I recited some of "Auguries Of Innocence" because my mum was trying to learn it all before she died.
