Nawlins jazz with the tight timing of the second line drummer and the trumpet chorus. This is where Satcmo came from, after all. Surely, if there's a way to go close to heaven itself, this is it.... beautiful. Black musicians brought you jazz, but the point of jazz is that it belongs to all of us. Such a beautiful way to leave this world.
Phil & Jayne Carney I’ve been to many authentic jazz funerals in New Orleans. At most of them, the slow dirge is “Just a Closer Walk”. Then they usually play “I’ll Fly Away” somewhere in the procession, to get the second line dancers started. Then, “Didn’t He Ramble” is the closer,
I’ve played Funerals,and the real way is with a slow dirge called,”Free as a bird,followed after the funeral by a swinger called”Oh ,Didn’t he Ramble” Most of them,we used Closer Walk followed by The Saints go marching in”We are in Montreal ,Quebec.
We now that when we loose a beloved one our soul is fully and trully hurt because that will be the last time forever we wont see again, and therefore nothing on earth can confort us but only the Power of God, but this funeral here is very couraged and very strong and the song that they are playing comforts you and gives the hope of the resurrection that the dead will live again.
Only in New Orleans do you get a “ send off” like this this tradition is to me should be kept alive for future generations to continue its a beautiful thing to see in person especially.
This comment surely is not one with Faith nor Hope that the deceased is in A Better Place and With God! It makes me wonder just what kind of life they lived! “All the darkness that inevitably follows.” They surely didn’t have any hope for the deceased!
This was played at my grandma's funeral. Not at procession but in the church. The one time I've actually wailed in this life....god I miss her. But this song was her favorite hymn and it's a comfort when I hear it. Thanks for this...
You are correct! It is not New Orleans, it's Los Angeles. Many New Orleans natives (my family included) migrated to LA in the 1950s. This was the funeral for my uncle.
Excellent deduction. The New Orleans Traditional Jazz Band is located in Los Angeles and performs New Orleans style funerals throughout Southern California.
This is so touching to watch, and I'm so glad they are keeping this tradition alive and well!
This is beautiful! I've always loved this type of funeral. There is just something so awesome about how life is celebrated.
Life with Lala and Ru not just celebrating life but the entrance to the afterlife. One journey ends, another begins.
Mmmmmmmmm .. mmmmmmmmm .

Phil & Jayne Carney Nobody from New Orleans ever says “Nawlins”. It’s a tourist cliche.

Just a closer walk with thee, grant it, Jesus, if you please!
So beautiful and sincere, may this tradition Iive forever, thoughts and prayers for the family.
What a lovely raucous way to send the loved one home... shedding some tears watching this.
Anybody ever seen the James Bond movie Live and Let Die? That was a genuine New Orleans funeral band that was hired for the movie.
Uhhhhh well I searched for that and this came up 😂😂😂
Who's funeral is it?
Great send off! That's the way to go!

Moin
Take me home lord, whata way to go.❤
Close but no cigar. Not quite like we do it at home in New Orleans
This is surprisingly very touching.

Love the music!
RIP ✝️🙏🏽
Just THE best way to go...great band...nothing could be better...

This is not in New Orleans
To be seen off with a celebration rather than all the darkness that inevitably follows... how amazing.
This comment surely is not one with Faith nor Hope that the deceased is in A Better Place and With God! It makes me wonder just what kind of life they lived! “All the darkness that inevitably follows.” They surely didn’t have any hope for the deceased!
I want this played at my funeral,please!
+Martin Hodek I want this played at someone else's funeral so I get to enjoy listening to it!!! LOL!
@tim dont know why your comment made me laugh but it did haha
Me too
now... that's going in style. i wonder if uniformed pall bearers would dance to the tune too???
we do.
I played the same tune in a funeral recently. It was one of the 96 year old woman's last request.
This can't be a in New Orleans? Just New Orleans style funeral they graves is above ground.
Not all graves in New Orleans are above ground. Rest Haven in the New Orleans, East graves are in the ground.
They still have concrete liners.
Rip brother
The song is "Just A Closer Walk With Thee (Dirge)".
This was played at my grandma's funeral. Not at procession but in the church.
The one time I've actually wailed in this life....god I miss her. But this song was her favorite hymn and it's a comfort when I hear it. Thanks for this...
I don’t even know these people and I’m tearing up
we had a band that my cousin was in play this song at his memorial. what a way to celebrate
Buena manera de despedir a alguien!
Just a closer Walk with thee.
Erbody gonna be having Second Lines everywhere, especially Texas I Absolutely love Nawlins Tradition trust&believe that
I'd actually go to funerals if they were like this where I live, shit I'd go twice a week
Lol
Unless those hills are levees, that ain’t New Orleans.
You are correct! It is not New Orleans, it's Los Angeles. Many New Orleans natives (my family included) migrated to LA in the 1950s. This was the funeral for my uncle.
I love new Orleans and thier music
Whose funeral was this? Just curious
I'm trying to recognize the cemetery and funeral home that did this it doesn't look familiar to me if this New Orleans
John Volkman this is in Los Angeles. We have tightknit community from New Orleans here.
Laurie-Anne Collins okay since you said Los Angeles... It does look like Forest Lawn
You stand of the other Dead. Sorry.
How beautiful. Be sad a little, but not for long because we got to dance you to heaven!!
I want this & my casket pulled by a cart & horse. But will cremated in reality.
BTW, what's the title of this tune...???
Just a closer walk with thee
Katrina Boltje
"Just a closer walk with thee"
God bless America and this soldier
Yo quiero esta música cuando llegue mi hora.
beautiful send off
What a send-off! Such a shame the deceased couldn't be there to enjoy it.
RIP, man.
🇷🇺🤔🤔🤔🤔
I m as a roman catholic from lower franconia like this way very much, it s a little bit like its here.
Excellent deduction. The New Orleans Traditional Jazz Band is located in Los Angeles and performs New Orleans style funerals throughout Southern California.
Very civilized.
