Music is a powerful tool. It evokes emotion. It awakens memories. Music plays a key role in the funeral process. Whether it be a soft instrumental to break the silence, a favorite song to play during a memorial, or a hymn to be played during the service, music is an important aspect of almost all funerals. Selecting music to personalize a funeral service is becoming a more popular idea.
When it comes to selecting funeral songs, something you should first take into account is what is the best kind of music to play at a funeral? The obvious answer to this is to play music that the deceased enjoyed listening to. The point of the service is to celebrate their life and allow loved ones to say goodbye. Playing music that resonated with them is one such way to accomplish this.
