Your loved one just took his or her own life? Listening to songs that the person appreciated while they were alive gives a place and a chance to pay tribute to them. It's a way of talking about those who have been lost. Of evoking traits of their personality, their tastes, or their past. The lyrics of certain songs can sometimes even be interpreted as a farewell word that the deceased did not have time to pronounce.
The musical accompaniment chosen also reflects the pain of the living. When you lose someone, it is only natural to take refuge in music. Music also creates a bond between those who listen to it. It is a thread, a guide and a means of creating a soothing atmosphere. Especially during the difficult time of saying goodbye to a loved one. It is a source of courage and comfort.
Funeral music is dark and sometimes disturbing. It is often rejected in favor of light-hearted and sometimes even cheerful pieces. Those are not necessarily associated with mourning. Music, in this case, is a bearer of hope.

Released in 1986 on the album A Kind of Magic. Brian May's inspiration would have come from the disappearance of his father.
