Learning ABC's Of Funeral Music Songs
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 want to have a religious service before the burial is conducted, it is advisable to check with the religious leader in charge about which songs you are allowed to play. This is because some religions may disapprove some song selections. Let them inform you about what is permissible to be played during the service.
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.
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.
The funeral music you choose should provide encouragement and some level of comfort to the people who will be attending the event. This means that you should review the lyrics and songs selected before the memorial service. This will ensure that the songs selected are appropriate for the event.
