Popular Songs at
Funerals
Popular songs (songs not played in classical concert halls)
are becoming more and more accepted at funerals. Many
churches ask for approval of non-hymn tunes for services,
but once that is given most any popular song is possible on
the harp.
A complete list of popular songs for funerals would be
enough to take up all of
a website. I have recorded just a few examples, but any
song that was
special to the deceased or their family would be
appropriate.
