Tom compares the singing to funeral music.
From the text:
"You call that singin'?" he interrupted gruffly. "Sounds like a dirge."
"A dirge, Mr. Oakley?" interspersed Mr. Miller, his balding head shining with perspiration.
"A dirge," repeated Tom. "This is to be a Carol Service, not a funeral. Lift them up with yer voices. Don't bury them."
