FAQ – Funeral Music
How do I choose the right tone for a memorial slideshow versus a live service?
A slideshow often suits a gentle, melodic cue with a calm pace so transitions breathe. A live service works best with a steadier underscore that sits a little lower and leaves space before readings, prayers, or names.
What track length should I plan for a typical tribute video?
For 3–5 minutes, one cue with a clear start and soft ending is usually enough. For longer tributes, loop a stable middle section and return to the original ending for a natural close on the final photo or title.
Are vocals appropriate, or should I keep everything instrumental?
Instrumental beds are the safest choice when names, eulogies, or readings are present. If you want a song feel for the opening, use very light vocals without dense lyrics so the message stays in front.
How do I keep speech and photo captions audible and readable?
Keep music several dB under the voice, avoid bright cymbals or busy arpeggios, and leave short pockets of quiet before important lines. When editing, time image changes just before a downbeat so each transition feels gentle.
