At the moment, I seem to be the singer of choice in this here town, especially when several people within a community pass away in close succession.
Favourites include: The Holy City (especially if the deceased was a Believer) Agnus Dei (Mozart) Ave Maria(Schubert) Definitely the most popular, regardless of denomination.
I've playfully considered having cards printed with: "Von der Krippe bis zur Baare,
Singt Van Dijk Dir Ave Mare" :)
tr(from the cradle to the grave) And then there is "Swing low, sweet Chariot".
I suppose one has to have a bit of humor, or one would not be able to sing, but I am always aware of the important role one plays in creating the atmosphere in which families and friends say farewell to loved ones.
