New Orleans Traditional Jazz Band - New Orleans style funeral procession

[@chriswatts5057]

So beautiful and sincere, may this tradition Iive forever, thoughts and prayers for the family.

[@withgoddess1119]

What a lovely raucous way to send the loved one home... shedding some tears watching this.

[@imaramblins]

I did as well. Reminded me of my cousin's .... An Army hero... When they hit the 21 gun salute. I forgot, and got jolted, like the rest of the crowd...

[@GreaterGood2024]

Love the music! RIP ✝️🙏🏽

[@imaramblins]

Do you not know what they're playing??? Juuuuuust.... A closer walk with thee..... Grant it Jesus, is my plea.... Daily walking close to thee..... Dear Lord, let it be.... Let it be...... Does NO ONE know the old time gospel lyrics anymore???

[@GreaterGood2024]

@imaramblins of course everyone knows the lyrics because we used to sing it in the church choir

[@imaramblins]

@@GreaterGood2024 like hell you did. I kid because I love ❤️ maybe I’m just jealous. Only thing I want. Is the fast break strain leading into when the Saints go marching in!

[@csheets40]

This is so touching to watch, and I'm so glad they are keeping this tradition alive and well!

[@JustSamD1]

This is beautiful! I've always loved this type of funeral. There is just something so awesome about how life is celebrated.

[@maxfrankow1238]

Life with Lala and Ru not just celebrating life but the entrance to the afterlife. One journey ends, another begins.

[@trustmeangelsinc.4527]

Mmmmmmmmm .. mmmmmmmmm .

[@jamesmoon8947]

Take me home lord, whata way to go.❤

[@pcarney72]

To be seen off with a celebration rather than all the darkness that inevitably follows... how amazing.

[@gertrudebuck590]

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!

[@betsy1947]

Great send off! That's the way to go!

[@marcblackmore8843]

Just THE best way to go...great band...nothing could be better...

[@pnk878251]

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...

[@saunsiaraybroussard9967]

Thank you for your service Sir! Rest in Peace Sir! My condolences and prayers are with your family and friends! Very beautiful service!

[@pcarney72]

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.

[@LJH70122]

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

[@LJH70122]

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,

[@dcabana1]

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.

[@vivianholland4354]

we had a band that my cousin was in play this song at his memorial. what a way to celebrate

[@blatherskite9601]

What a send-off! Such a shame the deceased couldn't be there to enjoy it. RIP, man.

[@bunkyman8097]

How beautiful. Be sad a little, but not for long because we got to dance you to heaven!!

[@markthornton1621]

I played the same tune in a funeral recently. It was one of the 96 year old woman's last request.

[@joshuamanzanares5308]

I love new Orleans and thier music

[@arturolpc3593]

Just a closer walk with thee, grant it, Jesus, if you please!

[@964302]

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.

[@rayg3354]

This is not in New Orleans

[@verdemg90]

The honor guard held that salute for almost six minutes

[@ismaelamaro2451]

[@imaramblins]

My DREAM funeral.... And I didn't even serve under the flag, like this Patriot!

[@hearmymotoredheart]

This is surprisingly very touching.

[@poppaluv]

[@mjw1955]

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.

[@RJWaynerium]

Uhhhhh well I searched for that and this came up 😂😂😂

[@lethalweaboo8662]

[@jeffnolan7331]

Beautiful & majestic.

[@דודמאיר-ה6ק]

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.

[@245L6GwM]

Thank you for putting this up.

[@doogiehowser78]

beautiful send off

[@s.f.n.4491]

God bless America and this soldier

[@kellymayo9351]

They did a beautiful job.

[@larcollins]

Excellent deduction. The New Orleans Traditional Jazz Band is located in Los Angeles and performs New Orleans style funerals throughout Southern California.

[@smiffy8364]

[@user-dc1dr9kr8x]

I'd actually go to funerals if they were like this where I live, shit I'd go twice a week

[@ElvisLivesUpstairs]

Lol

[@terrexcorbin644]

I would be crying cause it's just sad to lose someone

[@demetriuswhite1589]

Close but no cigar. Not quite like we do it at home in New Orleans

[@kzpodindustries496]

I want this played at my funeral.

[@dennissirman6584]

+K Zpodindustries I'm with ya brother.

[@imaramblins]

You kidding? This is my dream funeral...

[@e1ay3dme12]

"Just a closer walk with thee... Grant it Jesus is my plea..."

[@imaramblins]

Thanks

[@dbfi01]

What is this song called... ? I want this to be played at my funeral.. The best "guess" I have is "A closer walk to thee". But it feels wrong...

[@luxuryqueen42]

“Just a Closer Walk With Thee” 👍👍👍

[@kevp9601]

We Don't Celebrate About Death, We Celebrate About Life.

[@johnvolkman5015]

I'm trying to recognize the cemetery and funeral home that did this it doesn't look familiar to me if this New Orleans

[@larcollins]

John Volkman this is in Los Angeles. We have tightknit community from New Orleans here.

[@johnvolkman5015]

Laurie-Anne Collins okay since you said Los Angeles... It does look like Forest Lawn

[@MrTastytae]

now... that's going in style. i wonder if uniformed pall bearers would dance to the tune too???

[@poppaluv]

we do.

[@dimitristripakis7364]

What is the tune called? They always play that same tune

[@puckmanryan]

"Just a Closer Walk With Thee"

[@dimitristripakis7364]

Ryan Fowler Thanks

[@s.f.n.4491]

Yo quiero esta música cuando llegue mi hora.

[@geff4122]

Big yes

[@minimonkey252]

That sax player fucking killed it.

[@imaramblins]

Everyone in that band killed it!

[@dorahermida9265]

Buena manera de despedir a alguien!

[@maseval1]

Bello !!!

[@smoothskin46]

This can't be a in New Orleans? Just New Orleans style funeral they graves is above ground.

[@wandajoseph3563]

Not all graves in New Orleans are above ground. Rest Haven in the New Orleans, East graves are in the ground.

[@marianne3024]

They still have concrete liners.

[@Samuel-rq2wm]

Moin

[@machado1260]

maravilha

[@neilsailing]

Thanks...a few problems sorted.

[@k.b.392]

I want this & my casket pulled by a cart & horse. But will cremated in reality. BTW, what's the title of this tune...???

[@erniecoli8211]

Just a closer walk with thee

[@JuanRamirez-md7pj]

Katrina Boltje "Just a closer walk with thee"

[@larrys.feraca306]

Very civilized.

[@jesuischarlie6381]

This is the only way to ride out.

[@ziggyboi1995]

What is the name of the song?

[@arturolpc3593]

Just a closer walk with thee

[@LJH70122]

Unless those hills are levees, that ain’t New Orleans.

[@larcollins]

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.

[@shakkinbriggieproduction3609]

More scintillating than Amazing Grace

[@tbietsch]

wow

[@eberhardweingart7990]

Das wird auch mein letzter weg

[@ersinozkan793]
