Naturally, funerals carry tinges of sadness and grief. However, although it is a bit of a cliché to say the deceased wouldn’t want everyone to be upset, when all is said and done, this is probably true. Funerals can genuinely celebrate a person’s life. They can offer a fitting send-off to a loved one. A funeral can be a memorable and moving occasion for all concerned. A funeral parade band could be the ideal addition to any funeral itinerary.

Music is a universal language. That is why it holds such power in a funeral setting. Of course, the roots of a funeral parade band trace back to the streets of New Orleans. Originally, the music and dancing helped the deceased find their path to heaven. The festivities celebrate release from earthly life and the journey to an eternal one. The idea of release also carries thoughts of freedom from the bonds of slavery. Furthermore, much of what became traditional New Orleans jazz funeral practice echoes back to African funeral ceremonies. Captive slaves brought these traditions across to America. Of course, the rest – as they say – is history. The jazz funeral forms an indelible part of the culture of the American deep south.
