ABC's Of Modern Funeral Music

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 type of songs that the deceased like. If they had any favorite songs or musicians, consider including the song selection in the playlist. If the deceased had any song requests, honor their wishes and incorporate the songs they would have wanted played.

Take time to investigate and choose suitable songs. You can search online and find some leads. You can also ask for some suggestions from your friends or a professional Disc Jockey. You can also find some great song choices in hymn books.

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.
