===Jazz funeral===
{{main|Jazz funeral}}
Originating in [[New Orleans, Louisiana]], U.S., alongside the emergence of [[jazz music]] in late 19th and early 20th centuries, the jazz funeral is a traditionally African-American burial ceremony and celebration of life unique to New Orleans that involves a parading funeral procession accompanied by a brass band playing somber hymns followed by upbeat jazz music. Traditional jazz funerals begin with a processional led by the [[funeral director]], family, friends, and the brass band, i.e., the "main line", who march from the funeral service to the burial site while the band plays slow [[dirge]]s and [[Christian hymn]]s. After the body is buried, or "cut loose", the band begins to play up-tempo, joyful jazz numbers, as the main line parades through the streets and crowds of "[[Second line (parades)|second liners]]" join in and begin dancing and marching along, transforming the funeral into a [[street festival]].<ref>{{cite encyclopedia|last1=Sakakeeny|first1=Matt|title=Jazz Funerals and Second Line Parades|url=http://www.knowlouisiana.org/entry/jazz-funerals-and-second-line-parades|encyclopedia=knowlouisiana.org Encyclopedia of Louisiana|editor=David Johnson|publisher=Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities|access-date=13 May 2017|date=3 February 2011|archivedate=28 April 2017|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170428230601/http://www.knowlouisiana.org/entry/jazz-funerals-and-second-line-parades|url-status=dead}}</ref>
