Music for weddings, funerals, baptisings and so on.

Hi! I need some info regarding pieces often played at weddings and funerals. I mean pieces with the piano as a part of an ensemble. Would be grateful!

Funeral-Chopin Funeral March From Sonata Op35. Wedding-the same movement, only as loud as possible.

Whatever the family wants. Just be sure to clear the material with the officiant.

An easy trick I found was to find printed scores and CDs meant for those things. Sometimes they list the pieces in online ads and you can cheat and find out what they use.
