Choosing Music For The Funeral Home Service
When a loved one passes away, of course you want everything to be just right for their service at the funeral home in Charlotte, NC. Most funerals incorporate a number of things, including music. The music you pick can have a big impact on the feel of the service overall. It’s something people could even remember in the future when they think about your loved one. Here are a few options for music that might be right for this event.
Hymns
One go-to type of song is favorite hymns that have lyrics that are comforting in light of what’s going on. You could feel stronger in your faith and cope with the death better if you relate to the music at the service. Perhaps your loved one was religious and had favorite hymns. The funeral directors can also help you choose appropriate hymns for this type of occasion. Hymns can be familiar and comforting to the right family and it’s something everyone can participate in, if you’d like.
Family Faves
Most families have songs they grew up listening to and perhaps there are a few songs that meant everyone in the car had to break out singing. Family members might smile to remember the good times they had when those songs played. Ask around and see if any family members have songs in mind that remind them of your loved one and the good memories.
The Deceased’s Favorite
Your loved one likely had a favorite band or a few songs that they liked more than others. Perhaps they had a genre of music or era they enjoyed. You can make the funeral feel more personal when you play music that reminds everyone of things your loved one liked when they were with you. Those songs can bring you back to the times you heard them alongside your loved one.
Guest Musicians
If you want to have live music, you may have a talented family member, or you might hire someone to do the music at the service. These guests could help you choose songs that work well for a funeral. If your loved one enjoyed string instruments, you could have a quartet come and play some classical music in their honor. If a cousin has a great voice, ask them to sing something and leave that song choice up to what they feel they can do. The guests can help with the choices as well.
