It is important to remember proper funeral etiquette because good manners make a world of difference to someone who is grieving. Unfortunately, funeral directors share that there are instances where fights have erupted in front of the casket while toppling over the funeral flowers. Please do your best to refrain from disorderly conduct because a funeral is already a difficult time for the bereaved family members. Read more
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin’ for to carry me home;
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin’ for to carry me home.
I looked over Jordan,
And what did I see,
Comin’ for to carry me home,
A band of angels comin’ after me,
Comin’ for to carry me home.
Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world few hearts survive
All I know is the way I feel
When it’s real, I keep it alive
The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day Read more
I heard, that you’re settled down
That you found a girl and you’re, married now
I heard, that your dreams came true
I guess she gave you things
I didn’t give to you
Old friend, why are you so shy
Ain’t like you to hold back
Or hide from the light
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited but I
Couldn’t stay away I couldn’t fight it
I had hoped you’d see my face
And that you be reminded that for me it isn’t over
Never mind I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best
For you too, don’t forget me
I beg, I’ll remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead yeah
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday it was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze bound by the surprise
Of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited but I
Couldn’t stay away I couldn’t fight it
I hoped you’d see my face
And that you’d be reminded that for me it isn’t over
Never mind I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don’t forget me I beg, I’ll remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead
Nothing compares no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes their memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet
This would taste
Never mind I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don’t forget me I beg, I’ll remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead
Never mind I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don’t forget me I beg, I’ll remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead
“Someone like You” is a song by English singer-songwriter Adele. It was written by Adele and Dan Wilson for her second studio album, 21. It is the second single and final track on the album. The song was inspired by a broken relationship, and lyrically speaks of Adele’s coming to terms with it.
In 2012, Someone like you was number 22 of the funeral music chart. While the tune, which is well-known for making everyone cry, is sure to get the tears flowing at a funeral, the underlying message may be somewhat offensive to the average cadaver. Adele has stated the song is about her reaction to finding out that her ex-boyfriend is married. In the song’s chorus, she declares she will just move on with a similar person.
But it can still be used by people as a song at a funeral as it talks about going through the heartbreak of losing someone, yet still having the hope of finding someone new. It also talks about healing from the pain of losing someone by moving on, and knowing that there will be someone out there that can give the same love and affection that the one who left gave.

We just finished our dinner and
I’d gone in the den and turned on the TV.
When she walked in and kissed me
on the cheek like a million times before.
And she said “Honey, I know It’s late.
But if you don’t mind, My shoppings gotten a little behind.
So I think I’ll drive downtown to the grocery store.”
Well.. I didn’t look up, Just nodded OK and asked her to
hand me an ashtray.
And when she did, I reached over and squeezed
her hand, And then she left.
And I shuddered a minute
At the thought of my world without her in it.
And I reassuringly sought the touch
of my wedding band.
Well.. I musta been dozing,
’cause I didn’t hear the door.
And I thought now that’s strange,
I’ve never done that before.
But I looked up, And she was standing by my chair.
“Kinda snucked in on me” I said,
And she smiled and nodded her head.
And I told her that she looked just like an angel
standing there.
For a long moment she didn’t say a thing.
And then she caressed her gold wedding ring.
And I thought I saw a tear drop in her eye.
“Honey, You’ll never know how much I love you”
She said.
And I thought of the many years that we had been wed.
As I told her that no one could be as happy as I.
And then the strangest feeling filled the room.
Not one of happiness but one of gloom.
And for the first time in my life, I saw sadness in her face.
I reached out to touch her, and she drew away.
And she told be again, That ours was a love..
That time could never erase.
And then I thought I heard a thousand voices singing
But I realized it was the telephone ringing.
And that’s when I saw the halo
Surround her pretty golden hair.
I turned trembling to the receiver and heard a cold voice
say there had been a wreck out on the highway.
And I knew that when I looked back, She wouldn’t be there.
Because it was an angels way of saying our last goodbye.
Woodrow Wilson “Red” Sovine (July 7, 1917 – April 4, 1980) was an American country music singer and songwriter associated with truck driving songs, particularly those recited as narratives, but set to music. His song The Last Goodbye is one of his hits and it talks about the sudden passing of a loved one and the initial shock that comes right after. It talks about how anything can happen and how things can quickly change in a snap of a finger. The lyrics suggests that we must cherish every moment that we have with our loved ones, as we will never know if it would be the last time that we will see them again.
As Red Sovine brilliantly wrote, he talked about how the love of his life went out and never came back as she was a victim of a car crash. Coincidentally, Red Sovine has a heart attack while he was driving, and his car crashed. He was rushed to the hospital and he eventually passed away in 1980. This is one of the instances wherein an artist was able to connect his death to his work.

On an icy road one night
A young man loses his life
They marked the shoulder with a cross
An’ his family gathers round
On a piece of Hallowed ground
Their hearts are heavy with their loss
As the tears fall from their eyes
There’s one who’ll always sympathise Read more
I wondered should I go or should I stay,
The band had only one more song to play.
And then I saw you out the corner of my eye,
A little girl, alone and so shy.
I had the last waltz with you,
Two lonely people together.
I fell in love with you,
The last waltz should last forever.
But the love we had was going strong,
Through the good and bad we get along.
And then the flame of love died in your eye,
My heart was broke in two when you said goodbye. Read more
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell? Read more
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
‘Cause I saw the end before we’d begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what’s mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won’t stop there,
I am here for you if you’d only care. Read more
Ohhhh, oh, oh, oh, oh. It must have been cold there in my shadow, To never have sunlight on your face. You were content to let me shine, that’s your way. You always walked a step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory,
While you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain. Read more
