What do we sing, read etc. and what tune do we use. What, if anything, is taken out? What, if anything, is added?

    It will be in the Annual tone.

    The rite is FESTIVE. Ekhrestos anysti is said as the processional hymn.

    I was told that in the 50 days a funeral service is in the annual tone, and this was how it was done at my grandpa's

    Just came out of funeral prayer an hour ago...festive tunes throughout, annual Agios, Pi'Ekhristos Aftonf in relevant areas, and coffin procession to Ekhristos Anesti
    RIP beloved of the Lord.

    NOTHING takes away from us the joy of the Resurrection.
