Step Two: Choose your readings from the documents below. 
It is customary to have a reading from both the Old and New Testaments. The following links will give you the approved readings for Funeral Masses in the Diocese of Savannah:

Step Three: Choose your music.
The following link will give you a list of the songs which can be sung during the funeral Mass. It is not our practice to allow recorded songs during the sacred liturgy.
