Social media is awash with stuff relating to Tom Daley's and Matty Lees gold in the diving event. It's all positive, with them generously praising their trainers Harry Kane & Raheem Sterling

Along the same lines, Recordsale.de has a very good web site with numerous ways of searching out good stuff. Ones of the ways is by category, each major category has numerous subsets. Earlier I was browsing the gospel category and noticed a subset titled "instrumental gospel"

That's a proper head scratcher to me :-)

Sorry but where’s the problem?
Crematoria use this sort of thing regularly, as do churches, where a time of reflection is required and lyrics would be a distraction.

Geoff it's not a problem, to me it's simply a noteworthy musical quirk. I confess I know nothing about funeral related music but to me gospel music is fundamentally based on the lyrics and everyone I know locally who enjoys music including a good few who sing in a local church choir think the same. To me instrumental gospel is a very good example of an oxymoron.

I don't disagree, it is a very bad choice of words to describe instrumental worship music, which is how I would search for it.
