funeral hymns

Songs for mourning

Funeral hymns are religious songs sung at burial services or memorial ceremonies.

They typically offer comfort to mourners, celebrate the deceased's passage to an afterlife, or express grief and hope: The congregation sang funeral hymns as the casket was carried out.

Traditional examples include "Amazing Grace" and "Abide with Me."
