Funeral Songs, Dot Net--Serving A Perennial Problem

This new website helps relieve the pressure of a stressful time we all must face.
 
LA CRESCENTA, Calif. - Jan. 26, 2014 - PRLog -- Sooner or later, it happens to all of us: planning the funeral of a loved one.  The paradox is that the times we most need to be logical and rational are often the times we are least able to be so—and choosing the “right” music for a funeral can be one of those times.

The Gospel Music Institute proudly presents our newest website, “Funeral Songs, Dot Net”, to help make those choices a bit easier.

It begins with an article by our Director, Pastor Alex Hamilton, who, with over 60 years of church musicianship experience, details in plain language the 7 most important things to consider so that the service will be meaningful and appropriate to everyone in attendance.

Then, focusing mostly on the Black Christian segment of society, FuneralSongs.net suggests over 30 traditional Gospel songs and hymns that have stood the test of time.  One-minute samples of each song are right there to listen to, and links are provided to pages with full sets of the lyrics so you can easily determine how well they may fit the situation.

The late Dr. B. O. Byrd once said, “Those same people who would lie on you while you’re here will try to lie for you when you’re gone”, and Pastor Alex says, “Even in instances where The Departed One was not a very gentle person and we could very well find ourselves more likely to want to sing, “Ding, Dong, The _____ Is Dead”, ethics says that we should at least TRY to come up with just one thing good present in, about, or around them and mirror that in the songs that are decided on for this occasion.”

There are many excellent sources for information on music and songs for funerals, and Http://FuneralSongs.Net is definitely one of them.
