Carmina Burana
Despite the fact that choosing the songs may seem less important than other choices, you ought not to disregard it, because music is an effective way of concentrating the attention to the void and pain you feel due to the loss. It is also a means that can help with the process of mourning. Thus, you should find music that expresses your feelings - and there you can come up against a snag.
Finding the 'right' funeral song can prove to be a daunting task, since you must choose a song that expresses your feelings, the feelings of others and at the same time illustrates the deceased. Therefore we would like to offer you some guidelines that can be helpful when choosing the funeral music.
You must remember, however, that there are no rules or limitations when it comes to the type of music available. In the past, traditional funeral songs were most often played, while today the music can be the favourite song of the deceased or at least reveal their taste in music. Following the directions below, you cannot reach a 'wrong' decision.
- You should choose music that comforts you, reflects the person that passed away and preserves the memories you have of the person.
- Consult the family members and friends of the departed in order to find out whether they have any suggestions.
- You should not try to fill each and every second of the ceremony with music. Silence is also important, partly because people need some time to make their silent farewell.
- Do not forget that none of us expresses grief and mourning in the same manner. Picking a less traditional song might cause people to ask for an explanation of your choice.
- If you wish to incorporate several works of music, it might be worth considering instrumental versions of secular music. These can also be played before or after the ceremony, for example while people are either arriving in the church or mortuary or leaving it. Instrumental music can also be played during special moments of the ceremony, such as letting the white doves or balloons go.
- In case you still remain irresolute, allow the funeral home to find appropriate funeral music instead of you. They are the ones with experience and knowledge that should suffice for the 'right' choice.
