Funeral music for elderly lady

Hello, my elderly granny has passed away at 97 years of age. Any suggestions for appropriate funeral music for a humanist service - she didn't have any favourite music but really need something for the funeral that's appropriate to her age. Any suggestions?

I chose Einaudi, Le Onde - The Waves for both of my dear Aunties funerals. Beautiful piano music. I'll have it at my own funeral too. The crematoriums have this music if you ask for it so you don't have to provide it.

My mum, who was a bit younger then that, had Amazing Grace, and Memories are made of this (her and dads song). Humanist service too, and celebrant read “Do not go gently” by Dylan Thomas. Is there a song that makes you remember her?

Sorry for your loss. For my mum we had Dolores Keane singing Caledonia.
