If you're asking what type of musical composition honors the dead, that would be a Requiem, or Requiem mass. This music is the most common at funerals but not exclusive to them. They are religious vocal works usually sung in latin that have distinct ties to Medieval Gregorian Chant. A popular composer at the time who composed a Requiem would be Verdi and also Mozart (though he ironically died before completing his requiem).
