Learning The Basics Of 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 you will be having a religious ceremony during the funeral service, talk to the leaders who are in charge. Ask them if there is anything offensive, which should not be played at the event. They should give you guidelines on what is acceptable and what is not.
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.
Research and find some appropriate songs that can be played at a memorial service. Check online to see if there are any suggestions that you like. Also, talk to a professional DJ or anyone who is well informed about music and seek their advice. You can also check hymn books for song choice ideas.
Being well prepared before the day of the event is essential. If you will be hiring people to present, make the necessary arrangements for them to be there during the burial day. Do not hire anyone you have not heard play before or you may be disappointed. You can also come up with a playlist of recorded songs.
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.
