Naturally, funerals are always going to be a time that is tinged with sadness and grief.

Let us take you through the funeral band hire process

Music is a universal language, and this is why it is so powerful in a funeral setting. Of course, the roots of a funeral parade band can be traced back to the streets of New Orleans. Originally, the music and dancing were intended as a way of helping the deceased to find their path to heaven. The festivities are meant to be a celebration of a person’s release from their earthly life and journey to their eternal one.

The idea of release includes thoughts of release from the bounds of slavery. Furthermore, much of what became a part of the traditional New Orleans jazz funeral echo back to African funeral ceremonies. Elements of this were brought across to America by captive slaves. Of course, the rest – as they say – is history. The jazz funeral has is an indelible part of the culture of the American deep south.
