Music in church services
17 Answers
I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place but here goes. We need to provide two songs for a funeral service held in a church. The two songs in particular we've struggled to find in the usual music shops and we don't have them on CD (and don't know anyone who does), we are running out of time to order them. Why does it have to be original CD's - is it a copyright issue? I thought that by downloading songs from say ITunes is legal? Someone else told me they just refuse them because sometimes the copied CD's don't work, but if we checked they did, why could we not use them?

Hope you were successful on getting your songs from Amazon for the funeral service. Hope all goes well for you on the day. And am very very pleased that you can now stop worrying and know that you have done all you can to carry out your loved ones wishes.

I think it is a copyeight issue as they can't check that you have a legal right to the music even though you might have legally bought it if you know what i mean? I also have a feeling that itunes purchases are for personal and not public use and even though there might be only you there, funerals are counted as "public occasions" and the chapels and churches need a public music licence.
yup, itunes purchases are for personal use, which COULD be interpreted as not for playing in a public place such as a church service.

Thank you for giving us more information for us to work with. Both of these songs are on the album called Elvis Ultimate Gospel. The CD is in stock and available right now on Amazon. Here is the link for you. I hope you have time to order it.
