Geese will choose a mate when they are about three years old and will stay monogamous for life, raising new families together each year. If one mate dies, the other mate will sometimes wait several years before choosing a new partner or might even stay single.

Does a goose sing its mate's song after the mate dies?

It's a romantic notion. But no. Wild geese are, for the most part, monogamous, but they have been known to re-mate if their former mate dies. (I don't know if domesticated geese behave the same or not.) There isn't (as far as we can tell) a specific song (and describing the noise made by geese as a "song" is being quite generous) that serves to identify a specific goose, so the notion of "its mate's song" is pretty much meaningless anyway.
