Life has a soundtrack. From the time we are children, music finds its way into our days and nights and links us to important moments. It brings us joy and comfort. Whether classical or gospel, mournful or uplifting, funeral music should reflect the personal preferences, religious traditions and cultural aspects of the person being remembered.

Funeral songs set the atmosphere for a memorial service or celebration of life. Find the best funeral music, religious or secular, to honor your loved one.

Have you ever heard of a fantasy coffin? In Ghana, people like to be buried in containers that represent their lives. It's believed that if the deceased is properly honored, such actions secure spiritual favor for the family left behind. Caskets have been shaped like planes for pilots, fish for fishermen and even a Mercedes-Benz for a businessman.
