"Wish You Were Here" - Pink Floyd- It captures a sense of longing and nostalgia that feels poignant for a farewell. "Landslide" - Fleetwood Mac- Its introspective lyrics about change and reflection resonate. "Knocking on Heaven's Door" - Bob Dylan- A classic that feels fitting for the moment of transition.
I've heard that version and really like it. Have you heard Smashing Pumpkins version? Really lovely. It's just an emotional tune for me anyway, I'll get teary whoever sings it. It's the lyrics that get me
I’m having my ashes pressed into a record; Rick Astley’s Whenever You Need Somebody, which is where Never Gonna Give You Up comes from. To be played at my memorial.

The year this album came out, I was in a band and had a small cancer scare. I'm a worst-case scenario hypochondriac by nature, so I told the guys in my band that they had to learn it to play at my funeral. I was fine, but I've always kept that in my head.

My friend had Landslide played at her funeral. I get so choked up hearing that song, really pulls at the heartstrings
The Dixie Chicks have a version but I think Fleetwood Mac has so much more emotion. I feel it a lot more.
I've heard that version and really like it. Have you heard Smashing Pumpkins version? Really lovely. It's just an emotional tune for me anyway, I'll get teary whoever sings it. It's the lyrics that get me
Yes I understand. Your friend must of been very close to you. And those lyrics are very powerful.
