Remembrance Music
This may come as a strange question, but I am making a picture DVD for the funeral of a family member and need suggestions of what music would go well with it. I have not ever really given a lot of thought to the topic, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: Remembrance Music
The intermezzo from Pietro Mascagni's "Cavalleria Rusticana" would fit this very well, I think. Another would be the Samuel Barber "Adagio for Strings". These are two very popular pieces that you should have no trouble finding if you don't already have them.

Re: Remembrance Music
Ashokan Farewell by Jay Ungar and I believe arranged for orchestra by Calvin Custer (correct me if I am incorrect) is one of the most beautiful (and appropriate for this) pieces I have ever heard. It might be difficult to locate a recording of this, but if you can I would suggest using it.
... Ooo, I just found a good Youtube recording of it.
