What songs to play at a funeral?... for a baby? preferably a girl?
Hey, my baby niece was born sleeping bout a week and a half ago, and we are getting ready to have her funeral in our home town where our entire family's jeans are. We have some good songs and I wrote her a poem, but I feel like I want to do something else to prove to my mom and sister that I can be sensitive too. If there is a good song anyone knows about that has to do with, baby's dying or something just, lemme know.
thanks. :)

3. Eric Clapton's tears in heaven
4. My sister gave birth to a stillborn boy in july of 2008. She now loves the song Bye Bye by Mariah Carey. I am sorry for your loss. If you need someone to talk to who has experience with this then email me at tlsim14@yahoo.com.
5. If you want just a beautiful and uplifting song.. The Prayer by Celine Dion. Andre buchelie (i'm sure thats not spelled right) and josh grobin also sing versions of this with celine dion.
Makes me want to cry when I here it. It's so powerful!
6. I'm so sorry to hear about your family's loss. Losing a precious baby is the saddest thing a family can go through. I don't know what I would do without my babies. A good song you can play for the baby's funeral is a song by Billy Joel called Lullabye (Goodnight, Angel). Another one is by Twila Paris and it's called "Visitor from Heaven".
7. Sorry for your families loss....My son was also born sleeping a month ago. I looked all over the internet for songs and the best one, the one that I listen to almost daily is Smallest Wingless, by Craig Cardiff. It is a beautiful song, very sad and short. It was written specifically about stillbirth/infant death.
Dear one, we've been waiting for you
Thrilled beside ourselves that you've arrived
White coats came in, heads held low
Talked for a bit, shuffled outside
We closed the curtains,
Held each other,
And cried
We said hello at the same time that we said goodbye.
And smallest wingless, oh you came to us
Leaving as soon as you'd arrived
But sadness is just love wasted
With no heart to place it inside
We closed the curtains,
Held each other,
And cried
We said hello at the same time that we said goodbye.
We closed the curtains
Held on to one another
And cried
We said hello at the same time that we said goodbye.
Another good one
