Funeral music is a genre of music specifically composed or selected to be played during funeral services or memorials. It serves to honor the deceased, provide comfort to the grieving, and create a reflective atmosphere. Common instruments used include the organ, piano, and sometimes strings, with pieces ranging from classical compositions to contemporary songs. Traditionally, funeral music may include hymns, classical works like Bach's "Air on the G String", or modern songs that resonate with the deceased's life. The choice of music often reflects the individual's personality, beliefs, and the preferences of their family, making each service unique.
