Funeral/Memorial Service Planning: Music

Whether we are aware of it or not, the music we listen to inspires us, relaxes us, challenges us, encourages us and speaks the words we struggle to say. Some days it helps us shed the tears we have bottled up. Other days it helps us smile and maybe even laugh. This is never more true than when parents are enduring a terminal diagnosis of their unborn baby or coping with the loss of their baby.

The songs listed below have helped other parents through the days and are shared with you so that you might also enjoy them. Many of these songs have also been used for funerals/memorial services. Your pastor/priest/reverend will have other options as well.
