Song being played at a funeral?

Question

If in one's last wishes a certain song is asked to be played at the funeral, when exactly do you play it?

Answer 1

Leave that up to the Funeral Director...just make sure they have a copy of the song and the Funeral Home will do the rest!

Answer 2

At the end of the ceremony.

Answer 3

The songs my mom requested at her funeral were interspersed with the eulogy and sermon and prayers. We had them played at low volume while people were coming in and leaving as well. Usually, people don't play music at the cemetery. It is hard to do, logistically, because most cemeteries don't have sound systems.

Answer 4

The song is normally played as the casket is lowered.  

Answer 5

they play it through out the funeral

Answer 6

As I think  before putting  down

Answer 7

It should be played either as the coffin is leaving the church or when it's being lowered into the ground. Usually, a person wants this song to be their send-off.

Answer 8

At my uncle's funeral, they played "76 Trombones" from the musical comedy "Music Man" before the service actually began, while people were greeting the family.

Answer 9

play it a few times at the beginning at the end as many as u feel they would like
