With the music lists, the funeral director wants to inspire people to talk about their latest record with each other. “Choosing from millions of music numbers for the last goodbye is quite complicated,” says director Corné Mulders.
This year Monuta has made five inspiration lists on music streaming service Spotify. “We hope this will help people to make a choice for themselves or their loved ones,” said Mulders.
