I’m so sorry about the loss of your mom. 🙏🏻
I just made our funeral arrangements this summer and picked my favorite old time hymns that I’m always singing. I picked the same for my husband because it will bring me comfort.
I would ask the funeral home for help.

I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom. I would have maybe one or two hymns (I remember my Mom asking that Rock of Ages be played at her funeral) and then choose some songs that have special meaning to you and your family.
When my MIL passed away, we had each person that was close to her choose a song that meant something to them in relation to her and compiled a playlist that was played at her funeral. There were many really different choices. Her life partner chose "When a Man Loves a Woman" by Percy Sledge and my eldest DD chose "Drink a Beer" by Luke Bryan in memory of times spent at MIL's trailer, sitting on the deck having a drink with her. I chose "You Raise Me Up". She loved Josh Groban and I think I had bought her every CD of his. My husband chose "Que Sera Sera" by Doris Day because he remembers her singing it to him when he was a little boy.
These songs made it personal and I thought were a perfect tribute to a wonderful woman who made a lasting impact on so many lives.

I’m so sorry to hear!
For my sister, we skipped all the hymns, and played music she loved! It was still in a church, and while she loved hymns, it wasn’t right for her. So maybe you could choose a few of her favorite hymns and then a few songs she loved.

I'm in the camp with maybe something she liked? I'm sorry for your loss! My sister and I always tease my mom about songs we will play at her funeral.. we will start listing off the most inappropriate songs we can think of. It gets her laughing so hard. It's tough thinking it's something we will deal with soon one day. Girrrrrl, when FIL died, BIL couldnt get into his computer to access his songs, but he did locate a mix-CD. Dh and I were the only family at the funeral home when guests started to arrive for the service. We were talking to one of FILs friends and I noticed overhead that Sexual Healing was playing. I have never extended a conversation for so long in all my life. After, I looked at dh and said, "Well, at least it wasnt 'Let's Get it On"." 5 songs later was, in fact, Let's Get it On. We knew my FIL was somewhere laughing his ass off. Needless to say BIL had not played the CD and there was no song list written on it. I have no idea if anyone else noticed, but it was a memory we won't forget

I'm so sorry for your loss. I will say the funeral home is great at helping with all the details, even music as needed. For my mom's, we created a Spotify playlist that had some of her favorite songs and hymns as well as songs that others remembered her for.

So sorry for your loss. I know the pain. One of my cousins sang the Ava Maria at my Moms funeral. She requested it before she died. It was beautiful!

Certainly check with the funeral home and tell them what you are thinking- they may have just the playlist 'made' for you. Did you mom have any favorite music? When my step father passed away, he had a huge collection of big band albums- funeral home made a playlist for us and played them quietly in the background. A cousin passed, and he was a huge Beatles fan, so some of the music playing in the background when we weren't singing a hymn were Beatles songs. Unless my tastes change, my family knows they better make arrangements for Nightwish to play in the background

I am so very sorry for your loss.
When my friends mother passed away each of her kids picked a song. Because you loved me by Celine Dion and You raise me up by Josh Groban.
For my sister's funeral we had Here I am Lord and Ave Maria.

I don't know any music sources, though.
