Songs for a funeral

Hi all,

My grandma is very sick atm and the doctor said that she may take her last breath soon. My mum has already organised a few things for when grandma's time comes and has put me in charge of creating the tribute photos/videos. My teochew is very basic but I think my grandma would like a beautiful teochew song for her funeral.

Can someone recommend me a song suitable for a funeral? Thank you in advance.

Hi, is it possible to find relatives in China without going there physically? Are there any sort of online genealogy communities that do this sort of thing?

For context my grandpa immigrated to Thailand and passed away a long time ago, when my dad was still a little kid. My grandmom is a second-generation Thai Teochew born in Thailand, but she has Alzheimer’s now and I can’t get much info out of her. I have his pictures and maybe some old documents. I know where his hometown was based on his tombstone writings, and I know where it is today in the modern address form(揭阳普宁).

It would be great to be able to connect with his relatives if they still are any. But in this day and age I was wondering if it’s possible to do this sort of thing online first. I don’t feel like it’s appropriate to just travel there and walk around asking people like I’m a movie protagonist.
