Music Licenses

2026 Music and Webcasting Licensing is Now Available!

Licensing Options & Pricing (Please note: 2025 options still available)

Music License: Covers live or recorded music played at any service or facility location.

• $365 per physical address

GMR Licensing (Global Music Rights)

GMR represents many top-charting and emerging artists, including most Billboard Hot 100 performers. To play newer or GMR-represented music, we strongly recommend adding a GMR license.

GMR Pricing:

• $143 per physical location
• $28 per URL for webcasting
• Optional Past Performance License: $67 per URL (covers GMR music used before 2025; not needed if purchased in 2024)

For a full list of GMR artists, view their catalog.

To reduce copyright risk and maximize your music options, we recommend purchasing GMR + ASCAP + BMI + SESAC.

Why Licensing Matters

• Music licensing is required by law.
• Failure to obtain it can lead to copyright infringement penalties of up to $30,000 per song.
• ICCFA license rates are direct pass-through fees from ASCAP, BMI, GMR, and SESAC. Licensing directly with these agencies would cost nearly $600 per location.

What’s Covered?

• Play live or recorded music at services and facilities
• Legally stream funeral services with music on your website (webcast license required)
