Funeral Mass MUSIC

Our music ministers here at CCSB are honored to be present for the memorial mass for your loved one. We hope our music will be a comfort and a blessing to your family, and we are available to assist with any questions or concerns regarding the music for the liturgy. You may use the form below to select music, and our Director of Music, Ashley Powers, will reach out to you to confirm or assist with selections, as well as answer any other questions. If you do not prefer to select music, let us know and we are happy to arrange a program for you.

Please find a Spotify playlist here to listen to the below music selections.

A memorial mass is a liturgy in which we are celebrating the Catholic Funeral Rite, and therefore all music selected must be liturgically appropriate. Pop or secular music is not allowed within a liturgy of the Catholic church, and music, as a form of prayer, must be offered by musical ministers present. An essential element of any prayer is that it comes from the person who is offering it, and therefore recorded music would not be appropriate.

All musicians for the service will be contacted, arranged, and scheduled by the music director. Standard instrumentation is one cantor and one pianist.
