On the same topic of funerals. Is your list usually used in church or
funeral home? I usually sing in a church because have been unable to figure
out how to get jobs in funeral homes. Your list is close to what I use in a
Roman Catholic funeral, but I would add Panis Angelicus, which is not
requested as much as Ave Maria. I have never done Battle hymn.
