A Selection of Instrumental Funeral Music

Music seems to say what the heart has trouble finding the words for.

A formal funeral may include a selection of music by Bach, Chopin, Fauvre, Brahms, or Schubert - often played on the organ or by a single pianist, guitarist, flutist, or vocalist.

It is perfectly acceptable in some settings to play a tape of your favorite compositions.

Here are a number of instrumental music selections, mostly classical, for services both formal and informal that I have collected over the years.

The Soundtrack from On Golden Pond

Requiem by Mozart

Angus Dei by the Vienna Boys Choir

The Waltz of Sleeping Beauty

Chopin Funeral March

Dance of the Blessed Spirits by Gluck

Preludes Chopin Op.28

Elegy by Faure

Air on the G String - Bach

Death of Mufasa from The Lion King

An Ending by Brian Eno
