The Listenary

If you're reading this, you may have experienced recently a death among family or friends. You wish to remember, to memorialize, the one who's gone. Perhaps you want to celebrate a life.

I am sorry for your loss, and wish to be of service here. My suggestions for funeral music include beloved hymns and classicals that give voice to comfort and hope. I like organ or piano, not sad, but quiet and brightly alive. Here are a few suggestions:
