Funeral Music

In times of grief and sorrow, we often turn to music as an expression of our faith - of those beliefs and hopes we sometimes cannot express in words. Whether planning the Funeral Liturgy of a loved one or pre-planning your own, the music you select can say a lot about what you, your family and loved ones believe. It can be a great source of comfort and consolation to the living. The music you select can even inspire new faith or renewed faith in the lives of your family and friends.

Here is a link to the Funeral Music Worship Aid
