When bereaved music can be uplifting and a great source of comfort and consolation, it can also express how we feel more than words.
I‘ve been singing at funeral masses for many years now. It’s one of the most important sacraments I’m privileged to be part of. I always perform with sincerity and compassion.
Please mention any particular music requests you have. If you would like accompaniment other than organ music I can arrange one or a combination of the following musician(s);
Pianist – Harpist – Violinist - String Quartet – guitar
