[HANASHIR:7054] Re: memorial service music

El Male Rachamim is pretty much required, and the rest is up to you, 
generally based on the following texts.  I'll assume you don't have the new 
ACC Cantor's Manual which has many choices in music notation for each of 
these in a prayerbook sized binder, or the CA manual which has somewhat 
'older' choices and is bound.

Psalm 23 (Adonai roi)
Psalm 121 (Esa Enai)
Shiviti
Adonai mah adam
whatever else may be in the little Memorial Prayer book they have at the 
cemetery (I have a collection from the local cemeteries so I know in advance 
what they have and what page numbers)

I don't know which of these you know or what resource books you have.  Good 
luck and Shanah Tovah.

Michael
