FUNERAL MARCH
We offer New Orleans style funeral marches. This is a a heartfelt tradition that is uniquely part of New Orleans culture and has carried over into several other cities as a way to honor the life someone has lived.
According to New Orleans tradition, after the eulogy and the official ceremony, a procession commences. Through the streets, the “First Line” of the parade begins with the Brass Band, the “Second Line” being composed of people that are part of the life of the deceased, is walking behind the lead of the Brass Band. At the start of the march, the band plays somber dirges and hymns and slowly transitions into upbeat, loud, fun music in celebration of the one they have lost. Our repertoire follows suit.
We approach these occasions with sensitivity and grace to ensure we can properly pay homage to the memory of your loved one.
