Dan Ellis Jazz Funeral --
A typical jazz funeral begins with a processional march by the family and friends, joined by a Jazz band. Throughout the march, the band plays very slowly and mournfully – such as: ‘Just a Closer Walk with Thee.’
A change in the tenor of the ceremony takes place, after either the deceased is buried, or when the hearse leaves the procession and members say their final good bye as they ‘cut the body loose.’
Then, the music becomes more upbeat.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now, I see.
