Music

Regardless of where a service is held, a Lutheran Christian service for the burial of the dead is always a place where Christian music is appropriate. Music is one of God's best ways of healing and comforting. The music needs to be selected carefully.

There is no place during a Christian burial service for secular music as it draws us away from Jesus and his resurrection. A person's "favorite song" or other non-Christian music could be played before the service begins as long as it does not present an anti-Christian message.
