In Paradisum in The Gregorian Missal Notated in
Gregorian Chant by the Monks of
Solesmes Abbaye Saint-Pierre Solesmes
Masses for the Dead CHANTS FOR THE LAST FAREWELL
As the body is being carried from the church to the
cemetery, and during the burial, the following can be sung:

May the Angels lead you into paradise; may the martyrs greet
you at your arrival and lead you into the holy city,
Jerusalem.

May the choir of Angels greet you and like Lazarus, who once
was a poor man, may you have eternal rest.
