A Time to say goodbye

Harp music is perfect for life’s more solemn occasions.  A funeral is a time of great sorrow, pain and loss.  It is also the celebration of a life, an opportunity to reminisce about the good times and the magical memories.  The soothing sounds of healing harp music are so appropriate.  Music can ease painful emotions. Music can genuinely help with the grieving process.

Whether you’re having a traditional burial, a memorial service at a church or crematorium, or even a woodland burial, I can guide you through your choice of music.  My skill and experience mean that I can accommodate most of your music requests at short notice.  I can liaise with your Vicar or Celebrant prior to the funeral to discuss your requirements.  (Please note - appropriate shelter must be provided for any outdoor performances)
