Cremation services have a lot of flexibility which means you can pick out the details you want to include and customize them to go anyway you choose. One thing you can add to the services is music. A lot of people choose to play music at a traditional funeral service so you can also have it at a cremation if you choose. There are a lot of things to think about when deciding if you should play music at the service. Here are some things to think about and keep in mind when making your decision and planning cremation services in Rosemont, IL.

Song Selection

You will need to think about what type of song you are going to choose for the funeral service. You may already have some songs in mind that means something to your family or that your loved one liked or even requested to be played at their funeral one day. If you can’t think of a list of songs, you can always ask your friends and family members to help you come up with songs for the services. You can also just choose classic songs that have a religious meaning or that just work.

Timing

You also need to decide when the songs will be played. You may want a certain song played during a certain part of the service or you may want to play music throughout the entire cremation. You can choose the timing that best meets your needs and you can easily decide if you want to have more than one song playing on repeat or if you want to make a playlist and let all your favorite songs play while the body is cremated. You can also just play a song before and after the cremation.

Type Of Music

The type of music you choose can be just as important as any other aspect of the funeral planning process. You want to be able to have a variety of different songs ready to play and it might be a good idea to consider having different types of music as well. Some people like to sing at the cremation or funeral service of a loved one and others like to ask something they know how has a good voice to sing. You can even talk with your church or local school choir to see if they would be willing to sing. You can always use recorded music as well if you choose.
