Best Songs for Memorial or Funeral Tribute Video Slideshow: How to Choose the Right Music for Your Celebration of Life Slideshow Video That Will Honor the Memory Of Your Loved One
Are you looking for the right song or music for your memorial or funeral tribute slideshow video? Just stick with me for a little while and I will share with you everything you have to know about picking the right funeral music for your tribute video.
Growing up, I heard that heaven is a very beautiful place filled with endless, blissful music. And in my child’s mind, I wondered how a place could be filled with uninterrupted singing. It’s only when I grew older that I got to know through the Holy Scriptures that there are lots of other activities in heaven.
Music they say is the food of the soul. But it takes on a whole new dimension when someone close to your heart suddenly dies and you hear an uplifting music that brings comfort to the soul. One of the best ways of coping with the grieving process is by picking an upbeat song for your memorial or funeral tribute slideshow video.
But, let’s face it. Grieving the loss of your loved one can be very depressing and you might end up feeling stressed out about the kind of song you would like to use for your tribute slideshow video.

- Select a song based on the mood you wish to convey
Just decide on the feeling you want your viewers to get after watching the tribute video. Any of the songs listed above or below can be used to make the atmosphere light or sad.
Let’s now consider the next tip:
- Choose a song the deceased was known to love
Ask yourself: What was the favorite song of the deceased? Please write it down and look it up.
There’s more to cover, so let’s look at the next tip:
Decide on a celebration of life song that celebrates the deceased’s life or it’s a happy one

We are not done yet….Let’s look at the sixth idea:
- Cherry-pick a song that reflects the personality of the deceased
I once watched the funeral service of a man who has known to have a very strong heart and the bandsmen played Kenny Roger’s something inside So Strong. They did same for President Trump when he was leaving the White House with Frank Sinatra’s Song ‘’ My Way!’’
If your loved one was known to be a very giving or kind or loving or hardworking or funny person, you can find a song that matches that well-known trait and his memory will come alive.
Now, over to the seventh tip:
- Choose a kind of music that gives hope
- I'll See You Again by West Life
- Knocking On Heaven’s Door by Bob Dylan
- Somewhere over the Rainbow' by Israel Kamakawiwoʻole
We are on our eighth point: Did you sing a song to your loved one before they passed on? Or did he or she ask you to sing a song prior to their departure? You may use that chose or even do it like this wonderful daughter did in this very touching video.
Finally, you can use your own voice.
Ok...Did you know that you can simply ditch all those songs and do it your own way? Just imagine how proud your family and friends will feel if you put your amazing voice to work by belting out a little story about the deceased. Better still, you may choose any of those songs I have written about and make it yours. Think twice about this and act on it if you have a good singing voice.
If you don’t have a great voice, you can ask any family member or even a friend to do this for your loved one.
