Do I need to hire an organist for the funeral?
Funeral singing always sounds best with live accompaniment, so at Surrey & London Funeral Singers, we are happy to perform with any competent organist or pianist. However, for venues without an organ or piano (or someone to play them), we have a library of our own recorded accompaniments (backing tracks). These sound best when played through our discreet, high quality Bose system which is totally self-contained and wirelessly controlled by us.

Thank you so much for singing at our mum’s funeral. You were truly outstanding and everyone I spoke to afterwards commented on how you made it so special. From our first conversation where you suggested various hymns, to your guidance on where these should go in the order of service and to your smiling face during the service you were exceptional. Your voice lifted the service. You made a terrible day a little bit better. Thank you.
