Though it’s not something we like to think about, we will eventually have to say goodbye to our loved ones, and they to us. Funerals offer a formal way to do this, often including music. Alongside religious and classical pieces, popular songs are now commonly chosen, whether they were favorites of the deceased or hold special meaning for their loved ones. Here are some of today’s most popular funeral songs.

Frank Sinatra – My Way

Frank Sinatra’s poignant 1969 classic, “My Way,” begins with the memorable line, “And now the end is near, and so I face the final curtain,” making it a fitting choice for a farewell. The song has been widely covered, most notably by Elvis Presley and Sid Vicious. “My Way” is an English adaptation of French songwriter Jacques Revaux’s 1967 composition, “Comme d’habitude.”
