Why Add Music to a Ghana Memorial?
Every Ghana Memorial includes a Media Gallery where you can also add audio files. Many families choose funeral dirge, soft background music, gospel songs, or reflective Highlife instrumentals that remind them of their loved one. When visitors open the memorial, the automatically started music can create a calm, meaningful atmosphere that supports remembrance. You can upload your own audio files or use tracks from our Ghana Memorial Music collection in the audio library where songs are described and can be listened before adding to the Memorial.

These tracks are created to support reflection, comfort, and positive remembrance. Families are free to use them within their Ghana Memorial Media Gallery, where allowed by the streaming platform or file rights.
