Music is an artform that transcends culture and society; it brings us together. Most of the time, we think about music as another form of entertainment, however, it can be so much more. Music has the power of evoking emotions and bringing memories. For this reason, it’s often said that music is a universal language. Music can play an important role in a funeral ceremony as a way to remember the life of our lost loved one.
You’ve probably experienced how a song can make you feel strong emotions and bring back memories you thought you forgot. Listening to music is also a way to connect with our community and those around us. At a funeral service, music is kind of healing. Gospel music is commonly used for funeral services and ceremonies since it’s a genre of christian music.
Gospel funeral songs are inspiring and uplifting, giving us a chance to ask God for strength during this hard time. Below, you’ll see Funeral Caring USA’s gospel funeral songs playlist, so you can get inspired or use all the gospel songs we’ve included.
