Music to Play at Funerals and Cremation Servies

Music can help the process go smoother much smoother. The rights sounds can make everyone feel a lot better.   

Personal music is music that either you or the deceased felt deeply about. There’s extra significance using this type of music because people will naturally think about the deceased. Let’s say that everyone knows that deceased loved hip hop and rap. Playing those songs during a regular cremation service may seem odd. Yet, it would make perfect sense for your loved one’s funeral.   

Music is life for some people. When they die, it makes sense to continue to highlight the connection.   

There are songs that are generally considered “deep.” These are moody ballads, soaring love songs, classical music, the list goes on. This is music that was designed to tug at the heartstrings. If you listen to it a moment when your heart is already overflowing with emotions, it can have an incredible effect.   

Deep music is subjective. It’s possible that the songs you choose don’t have the same moving effect on all of the other mourners.   

Classical music is appropriate for many serious subjects and events. Because there are no words, you can attach whatever emotions you like to the song. It’s true that certain sounds are associated with certain emotions. But it’s not a direct one-to-one connection. Classical music fills the air with lovely, poignant sounds. 

 

You don’t have to be a classical music buff to create a playlist. Stick to an artist like Mozart of Beethoven. Or you can try sticking to a specific instrument like classical solo piano music. There are endless playlists you can choose from.   

Top 40 music describes the most popular music in the country. These are the songs that people love to hear. Playing these songs during a cremation service might seem disconcerting at first. But it could also provide comfort. People like hearing what they’re used to. Hearing songs that you recognize and enjoy gives you a sense of comfort.   

Music is a tool to be used like any other. If music was a big part of the deceased’s life, that love should be expressed at the memorial service as well. Music can make everyone feel better. It also may have no effect at all. You can’t predict if it will help your grief.
