Songs for the Liturgy

Appropriate music for this day would include selections from the existing parish funeral repertoire and some music chosen from the repertoire for All Saints listed above. It might be good to incorporate a setting of the Hymn of Farewell that you use at funerals (or that you plan to begin using at funerals) in the music for this day.
