MUSIC FOR FUNERALS
Music is essential to the Funeral Mass. It allows the community to express convictions and feelings that words alone may fail to
convey. Music has the power to console and uplift the mourners and to strengthen the unity of the assembly in faith. The Funeral Choir, Cantor and Organist of the St. Ursula Parish community supply the music for the Funeral Mass. All music is sacred in
nature.
Listed below are some suggestions for you.
