Suggested Music for a Funeral Liturgy

Suggested Music for the Mass of Christian Burial
Music during the Mass of Christian Burial can evoke emotions, stir memories, and provide consolation during
this time of mourning. Your loved one may have had favorite songs you know he or she would want for the
funeral. Our music director and the Resurrection Choir will provide the singing and accompaniment unless
other arrangements are made with the director. The responsorial psalm, Mass settings and Song of Farewell for
the final commendation are usually chosen by the music director. Please choose four songs: opening,
preparation of the gifts, communion and recessional. There are suggestions below, but you may also choose
from others in the hymnal. The pastoral associate can assist you with choosing music and where to place each
in the Mass.
