Funeral Music Selections
Music can be an essential and meaningful element that plays an important part of a funeral service. It can be a special tribute to someone you’ve lost, or it can play a role in the healing process by bringing comfort. When selecting music, you might want to consider the following questions:
• What music did the person who died love?
• What music reminds you of him or her?
• What music captures your feelings best about his or her unique life?
