I know, you think funeral music, what? But, these are beautiful classical pieces with a more somber tone. I can listen to it all day. It's a two disc set, and even includes Agnus Dei, which is AKA the vocal rendition of Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber.

this is one very, very beautiful and relaxing CD of classical music, that address the spiritual dimension of the dark and grief filled times of all our lives. this music is so very touching at the level of what it means too be human (and, humane) at the darkest points of our existence. i cannot help but recommend this CD to all goths and other childer of the night; and everyone else too!

I was looking for some funeral music to fit a black mood, and picked up "Classics From the Crypt" for two bucks. Let me tell you, you get what you pay for. Next I tried "Music To Die For". If already you've got 'O Fortuna', then don't waste your time and money. This one, though...the first cut puts you right where you want to be when you close your eyes and take a deep breath. "Funeral Music"? HELL YEAH!!!
