The jazz funeral tradition is distinctively rooted in New Orleans, particularly within the African American community. Gaining popularity in the late 1800s and early 1900s, this practice features a brass band that plays solemn tunes at the start of the procession.

Typically, a jazz funeral commences at a church or funeral home and proceeds to the cemetery. Mourners are accompanied by a brass band, which begins with somber melodies but gradually transitions to a more uplifting and celebratory tone.
