Music for a Funeral Reception or Wake

Music Choices for a Funeral Reception or Wake

The sound of singing and music at a funeral reception can be healing and uplifting and having a live performance of a meaningful song can be a beautiful tribute to a loved one.

There are many possibilities from professional soloists and choirs, musicians and instrumentalists to orchestras and bands. Or a family member or a friend may be happy, and honoured, to perform.

The person who you are remembering might have loved a particular instrument or style of music. They may have requested that the reception be a celebration of their life, with a lively band, laughter and dancing.

Listen to clips of favourite classical music, or if you prefer something more modern, contemporary music, in our Inspiration Music for Funerals pages.
