You Raise Me Up offers a musical way to remember someone loved. An uplifting tribute to the strength and encouragement a loved one gave. 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 You Raise Me Up 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.
