Hello, and thank you for inquiring with me for providing the music for your loved one's farewell.
Below are the current hymns I have in my repertoire, which is continually expanding, so if there is one that you love and doesn't currently appear, please speak with me and I will see if I have time to learn it for you.
Please be advised that for a Requiem Mass you will need:
1 x Entrance Hymn, 1 x Responsorial Psalm, 1 x Offertory Hymn, 2 x Communion Hymns and 1 x Exit hymn.
I will be more than happy to guide you on these choices and placement within the mass.

My fee for religious services taking place Monday to Friday is £200, inclusive of all taxes and travel within a 10-mile radius of my home in Bangor.
For services held in a funeral home's own chapel or church, a reduced fee of £180 applies to reflect the shorter duration of the service.
Weekend services are subject to a modest additional fee. Travel beyond the 10-mile radius will also incur a small additional charge, calculated according to distance.
These are the most popular choices for non-religious funerals, however, I have an extensive list of over 300+ contemporary songs that you may choose from, on request.
I kindly request that I am given 72hours minimum notice for any new song requests.
​
Every service, whether religious, humanist or spiritual, includes 15 minutes of music before the service begins, providing a gentle musical welcome as family and friends arrive and take their seats.
For locations further afield, a small additional travel fee will apply, calculated according to distance.
