Abstract

The music that people choose to play at funerals provides an interesting reflection of attitudes towards death and grief in society at large. The previous chapter (Part I) briefly outlined funeral music choices in European (primarily British) history, demonstrating that religious music and classical music were the most predominant choices. Music at funerals was also overwhelmingly mournful in chapter.
