What music can be played at a funeral Mass?
Music at a Funeral Mass should come from approved Catholic liturgical hymnals, just as it does at any Mass. This ensures that what is sung reflects our Catholic faith, especially our hope in the Resurrection and God’s mercy. While some secular or personal songs may be meaningful, they are not used during the Mass itself, since the liturgy is prayer addressed to God. Carefully chosen sacred music helps lift our hearts in prayer and expresses the faith of the Church.
