Music

Choosing music for a funeral is a perfect way to express emotion and bring out the personality of your loved one. There are no strict rules when deciding, the main point is remembering them with the most appropriate tribute. Music can be used to set an appropriate ‘tone’ or theme for the service by choosing something traditional or something modern instead.
Hymns are still very popular, along with classical pieces, pop music and TV/Film themes. We will take care of your music requirements in all venues whether this be in church, crematorium or at a graveside. Recorded music is increasingly popular however we also work closely with various musicians such as organists, pipers and singers who will perform live.
We have a wide range of music in our library and will purchase music if necessary to meet your requirements. Please discuss your requirements with our funeral arrangers.
