Funeral Songs: Volume 2

Here's Volume Two of Funeral Songs, 20 pieces to consider to be played at your funeral, or the funeral of a loved one.

When making the funeral arrangements, remember that funeral ceremonies are short, depending on the time booked at the cemetery or crematorium. So consider organising a playlist of songs for the reception/gathering/wake.
