I love that song and I think it will be wonderful to have it as part of a funeral.

Dust in the Wind by Kansas is also a good choice for a funeral.

"Carry Me Home" by the Sweeplings.

 

 

Carry me home when the light in my eyes does fade
Carry me home when the shadow comes to take me away
Lay down my bones knowing I'll be in a better place
Release my soul, carry me home
 
Carry me home there's no sorrow down in the ground
Carry me home don't you weep for I am freedom bound
Lay down my bones there is peace within the light I've found
Release my soul, carry me home

Slightly off topic, but not really off topic, my neighbor next door has a hybid vehicle and it sounds like funeral music playing when she comes up the street.

A few years ago one of my son's high school friends died very unexpectedly (complications from diabetes) and the music was all Beatles music. It was such a tragic situation and I can't listen to those songs without feeling so sad.

My mom had Mockingbird Hill, among other songs, played at her funeral. I loved it.

 

I would like Over the Rainbow and Hey Jude played at mine.

I love my family, my fur boys, my Jayhawks and accounting!
