Music is integral to the funeral rites. It allows the community to express convictions and feelings that words alone may fail to convey. It has the power to console and uplift the mourners and to strengthen the unity of the assembly.  The texts of the songs chosen for a particular celebration should express the beliefs and life of the deceased and their family and friends.
