Does anyone know any good songs to play at a funeral?

Question

My Grandfather died yesterday morning, and he was always so proud of me when I played my cello at a school concert. I've been playing for 3 years now. Do you have any suggestions on good song to play at a funeral? (And I'm not talking about songs like "Big Bang the Wicked Witch is Dead".) I already have the sheet music for the song "There You'll Be" by Faith Hill with the music accompaniment. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. God bless you.

P.S.: If you play violin or viola, and have sheet music for a soloist with the music accompaniment, could you send it to me? My e-mail is [e-mail]. I could transcribe the sheet music from treble or alto clef to bass clef. Thanks again.

Answer 1

amazing grace

Answer 2

Get the Hymnal.  If your grandfather attended church, use that Hymnal

Did he have a favoprite.

Play the melody line first and last time through.  on a middle verse play the tenor line.

Make sure the piano does not play to loud.

Amazing Grace

How Great Thou Art

Just a Closer walk with Thee.

On the Wings of an Eagle.

Answer 3

Wind Beneath My Wings

is another good song

Answer 4

Let It Be buy the Beatles would be awesome!...for a funeral.

Answer 5

Weeping Willows by The Hush Sound, Those You've Known from Spring Awakening, Without You or Finale B from Rent. I'm not sure where you'd find sheet music for these for the cello, but good luck.
