Funeral Hymns
Funeral hymns are an important component of Christian funerals and religious-based funeral and memorial services. Hymns help to to console mourners, and convey feelings through song. Funeral hymns can be sung by a choir or by the ceremony participants. If participants will be singing, be sure to include the lyrics in your funeral programs. Funeral Hymns can also be sung by soloists, or by instrumental renditions. The type of the service (conservative, traditional or modern) can help determine how the hymns are rendered.
