earlier this week about songs which are suitable for childrens funerals. I found a website that suggests

Funeral Songs and Memorial Music for a Child’s Service

• My Heart Will Go On – performed by Celine Dion (Sample lyrics – “Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you, that is how I know you go on”
• In Dreams - performed by Roy Orbison (Sample lyrics – “In dreams I walk with you. in dreams I talk to you. In dreams youre mine. all of the time were together In dreams, in dreams.”)
• Tears in Heaven- performed by Eric Clapton. This song is very touching, especially as it was written after the death of Eric Clapton’s own young son.
• One Sweet Day- performed by Mariah Carey, featuring Boyz II Men. (Sample lyrics – “And I know you’re shining down on me from heaven, Like so many friends we’ve lost along the way, And I know eventually we’ll be together, One sweet day.”)
• Perhaps Love – performed by John Denver (Sample lyrics – “And even if you lose yourselfAnd don`t know what to do, The memory of love will see you through”

Music Especially Dear for the Memorial of a Baby or Toddler

• Twinkle Twinkle Little Star – available in various forms and lovely played live on piano.
• Jesus Loves Me – a popular children’s hymn.
• All Through the Night – a beautiful old Irish tune with words by Sir Harold Boulton (1859 – 1935) (Sample lyrics – ” Sleep my child and peace attend thee, All through the night. Guardian angels God will send thee, All through the night.”)
