ABC's Of Music For Funeral Services

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.

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

You can have live performances or recorded songs played. Whichever option you go for, make the necessary arrangements to ensure that everything is ready on time. If you are hiring a band, DJ, choir or instrumentalists, listen to their previous recordings first. This will help you know if they will do a good job or not.

Scrutinize the song selection before the day of the memorial service. This will ensure that no offensive songs are played during the service. Check out the song lyrics to know what a specific song is talking about. Aim to provide comfort and encouragement to the bereaved through the funeral music you select.
