How To Select Music To Play At A Funeral

The song selection in a memorial service is an important decision. This is because the songs will set the mood for the entire service. Since there are no set songs which one is required to play, it is entirely up to the family members of the deceased to choose the funeral music to be played. A few tips will help you come up with a playlist.

If there will be a religious service, find out if there are any guidelines you are supposed to follow. Check with a clergy member or anyone else who is in charge of the ceremony, so as to avoid playing songs that may be offensive to some people. You can also ask them to give you some guidelines of what is appropriate.

Consider the wishes of the deceased person. If they had said which songs they would like to be played during their burial service, honor their wishes. Also, keep in mind what their favorite songs were or which artists they liked. Include these song selections in the playlist.

To get more ideas about the right songs to play, check online for suggestions. You will be able to choose from many songs. You can also talk to friends and family of the deceased to give you ideas. Use a hymn book to also get good song choices

Recorded songs or live performances are both acceptable. This is provided that you make arrangements for the performers and those in charge of music to be ready on the burial day. Inform them early about what they are expected to do and how long they will have to perform.

When choosing funeral music, listen to the songs first so as to be sure that they are appropriate. Review the lyrics of the song. This will help you avoid any potentially embarrassing situations. The songs chosen should offer comfort to the family and friends of the deceased.
