Our society is one that has long incorporated ceremony into important events. And for this reason, a funeral may often be just as elaborately planned as a wedding. In some cases, the surviving family members will address all the funeral details when they make the arrangements. Many others actually make their own funeral arrangements prior to their death including all of the details most important to them. This may include a request for a certain person to perform the service, the choosing of particular flowers, and even the selection of funeral music.
If this is the case – as it often is – then arranging the funeral, including the funeral music, is simply a matter of setting into motion those choices that were already made. If loved ones are left to make the decisions then choices need to be made during an already stressful and exhausting period of time. Funeral music - like all particulars of the funeral – should reflect the individual personality of the deceased.
To provide funeral music that will reveal the taste and personality of the person you wish to honor, look to that person’s personal music collection. You will undoubtedly find clues as to the type of music the deceased most enjoyed – and even particular albums, tapes, and CDs by specific artists.
There are a variety of ways in which to use funeral music; you can have music playing while guests are entering prior to the service; you can set beautiful and personal music to a DVD of still pictures of the deceased; you can even take breaks throughout the service to play different pieces of funeral music.
No matter how you incorporate funeral music into the service, it is an extremely personal decision. The result should be a customized and special ceremony that honors your loved one.
