Based on your gut feeling, request songs—
about grief and loss
about endings and beginnings
about transformation
about hope and sorrow coexisting
that go into the darker places (rather than ignoring, avoiding them)
that are funny
about regret
about a breakup
expressing what you are contending with at present
expressing a multiplicity of crises
that encourage freedom
This project brings karaoke to cemeteries across the country, creating a platform for participants to express and share in grief responses through the act of singing together.
Song requests build on the collection. You’re invited to add a song and/or dedication to the Grief Karaoke Archive below. In late 2026, I’ll launch the Grief Karaoke Tool Kit for public use.
