Liturgical Music
Katie Cavallo

My sincerest condolences on the recent loss of your loved one. It is my hope that the music I provide will bring comfort and a spirit of peace as you grieve. 

​

If you are planning music for a funeral outside of the Catholic tradition, you have flexibility to pick from a wide range of musical genres. Please don't hesitate to select music from your cultural or religious background or songs that are meaningful to you. 

​

If you would like a song or multiple songs in a language beside English, don't hesitate to ask! I can sing in Spanish, Polish, Tagalog, Latin, Italian, Arabic, and German. Videos are found below. 

​

You will find recordings below the videos of popular songs from funerals in the Christian tradition. You are not required to pick songs from this list. There are a plethora of songs available and I can help guide you if you need direction. 

​

For Catholic Funerals: 

In a general sense, music that is appropriate for a Catholic Mass is appropriate for a Catholic Funeral Liturgy. It is not necessary for you to make any selections, but if you prefer to select the music, I have assembled a list of commonly used songs at Funeral Liturgies.

You may choose:

• One Responsorial Psalm

• One "Song of Farewell" (sung during the Final Commendation)

• Up to five hymns: 

  • Entrance

  • Preparation of the Gifts

  • Communion 

  • Communion Reflection (If a Communion Reflection song is chosen, please know that it may shorten the Communion song depending on the size of the assembly)

  • Recessional
