For some people music is an essential part of the funeral service, for others it can be just something in the background. Whatever the client’s wishes, the funeral director will advise on the required format for music tracks and provide guidance on how many tracks are required.
We can also assist with organising live music such as an organist or a piper.
When a service is taking place within one of our funeral homes then we will source any recorded music that has been requested (as long as it has been commercially released).
Most crematoria have a music system where requested tracks can be downloaded and played through the system. This is arranged by notifying the crematorium in advance of the chosen tracks. Sometimes the person taking the service can assist with sourcing or playing music.
Many churches have their own music system in place but occasionally a portable system is necessary. If so we can provide a portable system. The individual requirements for each church vary, this is something best discussed with the funeral director.
All of our funeral homes, all local crematoria and most churches have an organ. We can arrange an organist and pass on any requests to the organist for individual choices.
Coffins and caskets
Coffin choice is no longer simply about wood. Today, many options are available.
Funeral flowers
The options for funeral flowers are wide and varied. We can provide assistance with options and ordering.
Newspaper notices
Newspaper notices are still a popular method of passing on the information that someone has passed away and when the funeral is to take place.
