Phoenix Funeral Homes | Songs for Mom & Dad

Parents have such a special place in our hearts., When we lose a parent, it can feel as though the foundation of our existence has been shaken. How could you possibly choose a few simple songs for the funeral of your Mother or Father that could represent all the love, longing, and hope that they presented you with throughout your life? As one of the most well-known Phoenix funeral homes, we want you to know that we understand how important it is to honor your parent with just the right touches, including songs that are meaningful.

Tributes to Mothers

Some of the most beautiful songs in the world are devoted to the tender love between mother and child. How better to commemorate that love than with a beautiful tribute song that will communicate just a little of that depth of feeling to everyone who hears it? While certainly not an exhaustive list, here are a few heartwarming options that you may want to consider for your Mom.

• The Hand That Rocks the Cradle – Glen Campbell and Steve Wariner
• Coat of Many Colors – Dolly Parton
• Goodbye’s (The Saddest Word) – Celine Dion
• Halo – Beyonce
• Wind Beneath My Wings – Bette Middler
• Mama Tried – Ricky Skaggs  and Merle Haggard
• The Baby – Blake Shelton

Tributes to Fathers

Father figures are the hands that hold us, the feet that we dance on as children, and the ones who make us laugh and are always there to keep us strong. Celebrating the life of a father is a tribute to the strong, silent hero that we’ve always looked up to–no matter what. Our Phoenix Funeral homes team would like to share some favorite musical choices that may help you say just the right thing to your Dad:

• If Tomorrow Never Comes – Garth Brooks
• Tears in Heaven – Eric Clapton
• Daddy’s Hands – Holly Dunn
• If You Get There Before I Do – Collin Raye
• Hero – Mariah Carey
• You Raise Me Up – Josh Groban
• Father’s Eyes – Amy Grant

And then there are some songs that seem to have been made for funerals. They are so stunning that they defy words. One of those songs for our Phoenix funeral homes staff is “Hallelujah” by Jeff Buckley and another is “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”. The sad but beautiful undertones remind us that our loved ones have passed beyond the pale and into a new life.
