Funeral Service Music
The songs chosen for the funeral service may depend on the type of service you are having. The experience I have as a professional funeral singer encompasses singing at church funerals, crematoriums, memorial services, humanist and civil funerals. I have a wide repertoire of songs. You can choose from traditional funeral songs and hymns, or popular music. Many people select music for a funeral that has special meaning for your family and loved one who has passed.
I either perform with quality recorded accompaniments, so I don't always require an organist or pianist. Alternatively when selecting some folk or traditional songs, many people love to hear them a cappella (unaccompanied) or as an alternative I can provide a pianist or acoustic guitarist should you want to see and hear live musicians as the accompaniment.

Help Choosing Funeral Music
There are no rules on the types of music you can choose at the service, unless the venue or church particularly request otherwise. Feel free to discuss your choices with me directly, or I am happy to liaise with your funeral director or minister. We will organise everything including timings following your requests.
Prices and Availability
Fees are from £130 for one to three solos, travel expenses may have to be included should the venue not be within my area. All fees would be confirmed with you prior to booking. This includes setting up and arriving before any guests and attending the entire service.
