Funeral Music & Poetry
“Where words fail, music speaks.”
Hans Christian Andersen
The Choice is Yours.
Recorded Music
Wesley Media and Obitus
host and provide a vast
database of recorded music
to UK crematoriums.
Alison will ensure that your exact choice of music is sourced and available for use on the day of the service.
​
Using a discreet portable music system, Alison is also able to provide music for woodside burials, graveside services and venues that do not have access to online music providers.
Live Music
I never underestimate the effectiveness of live music
in funerals.​

Alison is the founder of
sourcing soloists, choirs
& musicians to provide the perfect moment for reflection.
It is invaluable to have a
soloist who is able to lead hymns and offer musical support to the congregation.

Something personal.
Should a friend or family member wish to perform on the day, I will offer practical support to the individual contributing.
​
Some funeral professionals express concern that the inclusion of live music can cause a service to over-run.
I will work alongside your funeral director to ensure that everything runs
smoothly on the day.
Funeral Readings & Poetry
"Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought
and the thought has found words."
Robert Frost
Religious
The wonderful thing about a Civil Funeral is that you can include religious content.
Many families find comfort in the inclusion of a prayer.
Non-Religious
I have a wide range of beautiful religious & non-religious
readings and poetry
which I can share with you.
The choice is yours.
Personal
A family member or friend may wish to read a poem they've written themselves.
I will give those people my
unwavering support.
