Bridge Over Troubled Water offers a musical way to remember someone loved. A comforting tribute to support, friendship and being there through hardship. 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 photo tribute, a pause after the eulogy or a personal moment of farewell. 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 Bridge Over Troubled Water for a service, consider the memories and relationships the family wants to honour. Listen to the complete recording with the family and check its words, arrangement and emotional tone before deciding where it belongs in the ceremony.
