Is Music Important at a Funeral

Why do we have music at a funeral or memorial?

• Music evokes memories;
• Music enables people to understand the life and personality of the deceased
• Music creates emotions and moods;
• Music calms sorrows and lifts the spirit;
• Music assists quiet contemplation;
• Music is participative, whether singing along, tapping to the rhythm, or sharing the emotions.
• Equally, it is fine to have no music if that is what is most fitting.
