Creative Music Ideas

The music selection for your funeral is one of the most important choices in your planning. Along with the photo presentation, music is one thing people will remember more than anything.

There are two things to consider when selecting music for a funeral: songs that were meaningful to the deceased and songs that will touch the heartstrings of those left behind.

We've listed some of the most popular pieces of music here to aid in your planning.
