Go rest high on that mountain offers a musical way to remember someone loved. A peaceful farewell offering rest and comfort through faith. As a funeral selection, it can provide space for personal memories and feelings that are difficult to express in a spoken tribute.
This selection can be considered for a prayerful reflection or a faith-centred farewell, where the officiant agrees. If sung live, choose a performer and accompaniment that suit the selected version; if played as a recording, agree the timing and length with the funeral team.
When choosing Go rest high on that mountain for a service, consider the family’s beliefs and the spiritual meaning they want the service to express. Listen to the complete recording with the family and check its words, arrangement and emotional tone before deciding where it belongs in the ceremony.
