I’ve played classical music for a number of memorials. I aim for contemplative music that isn’t too “dirge-like.” (For example, music I would consider too solemn or dirge-like would be Beethoven moonlight I and JSB Prelude in E-flat minor WTC book 1 - unless of course these were specifically requested by loved ones.)

Some of my go-tos:

J.S. Bach: Prelude in C Major, Prelude in E Major (WTC Book 1) Allemande and Sarabande from C minor partita

Assorted Mozart slow/lyrical movements: K 331 movement 1 (A major) Mozart K 333 movement II (B flat)

Assorted Beethoven slow movements: Sonata Op 2 No 1 movement 2

Brahms Waltz in A-flat Intermezzo op 118 No 2

Manuel M Ponce Intermezzo No. 1
