How do you choose music for a funeral? Which songs are appropriate for a service or Mass?

As the Music Director at a Catholic Church, as well as in my own family, I know this process can often feel rushed. Whether you want to choose a song for a simple gathering, a Christian service, or a Catholic Mass, this site is designed to make it a little easier with musical suggestions and a planner to print. Recorded simply with voice and piano, one verse excerpts of each song can be found below. Songs are personal, they evoke a span of emotions from sadness to peace and joy. Choose songs that speak to you. -Rochelle Bard
