This is a playlist for honoring those we have lost, who have passed over into the great infinite. Many of the songs on this list are love songs. Feel them. They express the same feelings of love, life, longing, and loss that we experience with death. There are also songs of celebration. Feel them too, for while we grieve, we also embrace with joy the life and times shared, and the memories and spirit that lives on.
