Lyric Check: Melody matters, but so do lyrics. Ensure they align with the solemnity of the occasion.
Formal Flair: If the service is more formal, use the opening piece to settle hearts before proceedings.
Personal Touch: Consider a theme from a favourite movie, TV show, or event for that personal touch.

Bid farewell with a melody that echoes a lifetime. Let these songs create a soundtrack that honors and celebrates cherished memories.
