One very important aspect of any memorial or funeral is music. It can enhance the atmosphere and provide spiritual relief. Some people opt for religious music while others prefer to play pieces that were meaningful to the deceased loved one. How do you select the right music for a funeral? If a loved one has died and you are beginning to plan the funeral, we have some suggestions that can make it easier to choose the right pieces for that special day.<\/p>\n

Live or Recorded<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first thing to decide is whether you want to have live musicians at the funeral home (or wherever the funeral will take place), or if you want recordings. If there is a very specific piece sung or played by a specific musician, then a recording is the right choice. Many times, for religious music, musicians can be hired to play at the funeral. This is purely a personal preference, though it is important to keep budget in mind as well. It can be a good idea to speak with the funeral home where the service will take place to ensure that they have audio equipment if you want to use recordings.<\/p>\n

Mood<\/strong><\/p>\n

Will the funeral be a somber one or a more lively celebration of the person\u2019s life? Depending on the mood that the family wants to have for the funeral, some music will be more appropriate than others. There are many options for more somber choices, like religious music or even some more popular songs. If you are not sure about the right selections, a Milltown, NJ funeral home<\/a> can help.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Religious or Secular Service <\/strong><\/p>\n

Keep in mind, as well, whether the service will have a religious or secular overtone. If it will be religious, then having religious music can enhance the service. For secular funerals, there are still lots of great pieces, like classical music options, that can provide comfort without being jarring. Take the time to speak with the entire family to decide on what kind of service your loved one would have preferred.<\/p>\n

Budget<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course, budget should also play a part in the decision of the kind of music for a funeral. If you want musicians to be playing or singing in person, this will require a larger budget than using a recording. Keep this in mind when you begin the process of deciding the best music options for your loved one\u2019s funeral.<\/p>\n

All of these tips can make it easier to choose the right music to honor a loved one\u2019s life and death. Keep budget in mind and consider whether or not the service will be religious. If you are not sure where to begin to plan the music, the right funeral home will work with you to help to make the right decisions.
