Hi all~

My husbands family, though Catholic, is not catechized well at all.

A few months ago, my husband's grandfather died. In May, they are doing a memorial Mass and asked my dh and I if we had ideas for readings and music. So...it's not a funeral Mass...but a memorial.

They have asked my dh and I if we have any ideas. I am so picky about music...I would love pieces that elevate the mind to God. And so I come to you all...knowing you all would have some great ideas.

Thank you!

Maggie

Maggie,

There was a good discussion here. Much of the music is similar for funeral and memorial mass.

This page has a good list of suggestions: Canticanova--Funeral and Memorial Music Planning
