Music has a special way of taking hold of our hearts during difficult times. Your loved one doesn’t need to have been a musician for you to put an emphasis on the music you use during their celebration of life, but if they were, have their band play or choose local live musicians.
One sweet idea is to ask each guest to contribute a song that’s somehow special to their relationship with the departed. Put together a playlist to play at the service based on all the contributions. Take the idea one step further by asking each person to share their reason for the song they chose.
