A New Era of Musical Tribute in France

We are delighted to report the signing of a groundbreaking partnership between the Fédération Nationale du Funéraire (FNF), the Fédération Française des Pompes Funèbres (FFPF), the Union du Pôle Funéraire Public (UPFP), and the Société des Auteurs, Compositeurs et Éditeurs de Musique (SACEM). This agreement marks a significant advancement in the way funeral services incorporate music into ceremonies.

Through this collaboration, funeral service providers who are members of the FNF, FFPF, and UPFP will now be able to offer families the rich and varied musical repertoire represented by SACEM. The inclusion of music not only enhances the emotional resonance of the ceremony but also helps create an atmosphere of remembrance and tribute that deeply honors the life of the departed.

This partnership also ensures that authors, composers, and performers will be fairly compensated for their work, which is crucial to maintaining the integrity of the creative industries. At the same time, funeral service providers will benefit from reduced costs, making this option more accessible to families while preserving the ethical and legal standards of copyright.

Funeral professionals interested in learning more about this new initiative and how to integrate it into their services are encouraged to reach out to Fédération Nationale du Funéraire (FNF) for more details and support.
