Questions?

Is this just a band?

​

Not exactly. While music is at the heart of what we do, we see Shunned at a Funeral as something much bigger. It’s a creative universe that blends music, filmmaking, and storytelling into one cohesive experience. Each song, each visual, and each project is designed to connect and build into something larger. Our hope is that listeners don’t just hear the music, but step into the world behind it. As far as we know, there hasn’t been anything quite like this done in this way, bringing all of these elements together into a unified vision.

​

Who writes the lyrics and songs for Shunned at a Funeral?

​

The vast majority of our music and lyrics are written by our musical director, who intentionally prefers to stay behind the scenes. As a band, we believe Christian music shouldn’t center on the artists themselves, but on the message. The goal has always been to create something that points beyond us and draws people closer to God. Keeping that focus shapes everything we write and produce.

Can I buy physical CDs for Shunned at a Funeral albums?

At this time, we aren’t able to produce physical CDs. Because we’re on a smaller label, it isn’t cost effective right now. That said, we are actively exploring those options as we grow. Since our label leans more toward film, it’s actually more likely that a Blu-ray release of our Bethlehem film would come first. We’ve heard from enough of you asking about CDs that it’s definitely on our radar, especially for newer releases, so stay tuned.

​

Is Shunned at a Funeral an AI band?

 

Not exactly.

​

An “AI band” is typically understood to mean that the music, lyrics, and creative direction are generated primarily by artificial intelligence. That is not what Shunned at a Funeral is.

While we do use modern tools as part of our creative process, the core of the project is human. The lyrics, arrangements, musical structure, and orchestration are all written and shaped by real musicians. There is a strong, intentional vision behind each song, each album, and the larger story being told.

Shunned at a Funeral is designed to be more than just a band. It is an ongoing blend of music, film, and storytelling, an immersive creative world that listeners can step into. Because of that, it does not fit neatly into a single category, and trying to label it too narrowly can miss the bigger picture.

We understand the curiosity, and it is a fair question. At its heart, this is a human-driven project using a wide range of tools to create something meaningful and unique. We also realize this is not for everyone, but for those who connect with the music and want to join us on the journey, we believe you will not regret it.

​

Will Shunned at a Funeral tour in my town?

​

We would love to someday. A full nationwide tour is something we think about often, but realistically it would be years down the road. The logistics are significant, from travel and equipment to hiring additional musicians and managing everything that comes with a traditional tour.

That’s part of the reason we’ve taken a different approach. By creating films that can “tour” instead, we’re able to bring something immersive to more places without those limitations. It’s not the same as a live show, but it’s designed to be a powerful and unique experience in its own right, something that goes beyond simply listening to the music.
