Music
Saying goodbye to a loved one is also a moment of remembrance. It is a letting go and starting over.
The send-off may be at the cemetery, at home, at a church, or anywhere else.
Music is important when saying goodbye. Someone can play an instrument, there can be singing, or there can be organ playing in church. It is also possible to play music as a recording.

How to find singers, musicians for the funeral service?
If you celebrate in a church setting, they ask the responsible pastor. If they prefer a “free ceremony,” ask the funeral speaker(s). It can also be someone from your personal circle or from the circle of the deceased person. Yodel club, church choir, men’s choir, gospel choir, ACapella choir or musicians that are hired.
On online platforms you can find musicians* who provide an offer for funeral services.
Do you have any tips on what music might help in coping with grief?
With music, emotions can be awakened. Grieving people need different channels to give space to their grief, music is one possible channel. What music speaks to you in grief is very individual. Music that the deceased person enjoyed listening to or your own favorite music, songs about saying goodbye or a classic piece of funeral music.
