What are some favorite music selections for a funeral service?

Music is such a big part of a funeral service. Whether you are planning a Mass in a church, a memorial service in a funeral home, or a simple service in a cemetery, the music played during this time will make the ceremony so meaningful.

When choosing music for a Mass, some churches prefer you choose from their list of songs based on what their musical group can play or prefers. Here are some common musical choices during a Mass:

Amazing Grace

How Great Thou Art

On Eagle’s Wings

Ave Maria

All I Ask of You

I Have Loved You

Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory

Your particular church will help you decide, and can help you plan the music for each part of the Mass. You won’t have the ability to choose whatever song you like, since it has to be a religious song.

If you are planning a memorial service in a funeral home, you can choose anything you like. The funeral director will help you play the song during the service with their sound system, making it a personal ceremony for your loved one.
