About Swansong — Create Your Wake Playlist

Swansong is a free tool to create your final playlist — the ten songs that defined your life, to play at your wake. Share it with family and friends as a permanent link.

What is a Swansong?

A Swansong is your final playlist — ten songs that defined your life, chosen by you, to play at your wake or funeral. Most people never plan the music for their own send-off. Swansong gives you a simple, free way to do that and share it with the people who matter.

Why ten songs?

Ten songs forces meaningful choices. It's enough to tell a life story, but not so many that every song stops mattering. Each one has to earn its place.
