There is no specific term for these players. IT IS TRUE, that in New Orleans there were special bands that followed the Hearses so to speak. they played dead-slow stuff as appropriate for a funeral en route to the cemetery, but after the burial on the return livened up with the familiar ( Saints Go marching In!) There was a scene of this sort of thing in the opening sequences of the movie (Pete Kelly"s Blues) Pete Kelly being a Jazz musician. It was not clear who the funeral was of or for but it was Not the Title Character! The slow trot was ( walkling with Jesus) and the Saints was the return march, at all speed! It is odd but a number of movies open with funerals and sometimes the victim is obscure or unknown and does not relate to the plot- this case is closed! pun intended.

The best place to hear Chopin's Funeral March is at an actual funeral, however, as it is not recommended that you crash a funeral, the next best place to hear it would be to go to your local music store and see if they have it on a CD.

There are a few famous funeral dirges. "Funeral March" by Chopin is the one commonly heard on cartoons. A number of funeral marches are heard in Purcell's "Funeral Music for Queen Mary." Handel's "Dead March" is also used a lot at funerals. Thomas Attwood wrote a march titled "Dirge" for Admiral Nelson's funeral. I hope one of these is the one you're looking for. You can hear samples of all of these at Amazon, CD Universe, etc.
