What do I perform at a funeral?

0

I know this is an unexpected question, but I found out this morning that my grandpa passed away last night, and his funeral is in a week. While I’m feeling alright, I know that my dad is really torn up, and my grandma requested that I play the violin at the funeral in a week. I’m at a total loss as to what to play, as I’ve never had to deal with the death of someone close to me before, and any advice on what song I could pick would be awesome. Something calming, or about death not being the end (religious or not doesn’t matter to me). So far I’ve come up with a song called “My Shepherd Will Supply My Need” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70kdwGBv8fQ) but I’d love to hear any suggestions you guys have.

Whatever you decide for, be sure to check with the priest or rabbi or whoever if it's ok, it probably will be but they usually prefer to be informed before.

Somewhere over the rainbow or For Good from Wicked...I'm a fan of the wizard of oz, but I think these both apply really well to death not being an end.Sorry for your loss.
