Everybody Hurts offers a musical way to remember someone loved. A compassionate song offering solidarity and hope during pain and loneliness. 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 after a friend’s eulogy or during a remembrance slideshow. 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 Everybody Hurts for a service, consider friendship, companionship and the moments friends shared. Listen to the complete recording with the family and check its words, arrangement and emotional tone before deciding where it belongs in the ceremony.
