Agreed. It's been played at most funerals I've attended, including my grandma's this past summer, but that could have been because of sentimental value to our family.

A fireman in my town passed away back in February, and they had a memorial service that was incredibly moving. A bagpiper played "Amazing Grace", "Death of a Chieftain" and a song I didn't recognize. "In the Garden" was sung by all.

After the chaplain's message, the firemen came down the aisle, two by two & carrying a flower. Each pair paused a moment at the casket, saluted, put the flower in the vase, then left. The whole time the 60+ firemen did that, "I Will Remember You" was played, then the bagpiper played one more song as everyone filed out.

On the moving factor, it was a 15 out of 10 !!!

My paternal grandparents' funerals had this song called "Walk With Me." I haven't heard it since.

My maternal grandfather's funeral ended with "My Way." Considering how he died, I thought it was...interesting. Appropriate in a really not appropriate way.

I want "All Apologies" by Nirvana to be played at my funeral

If you are talking about the gospel song, I know that song and love it.
