Music & Audio Visuals

Meaningful music is an integral feature of most funeral services. As part of an act of worship and/or to remember those special moments that marked the life of your loved one.  In partnership with Obitus,  a leading UK provider of bereavement technology services, we are able to ensure that you can choose from widest possible selection of music and artists, as well as having an organist to play if you wish.

Whilst numbers attending services have been limited due to COVID-19, a popular option has been our Live Webcast for  £30.00.  A keepsake recording of the service is available on DVD, Blu-Ray, USB memory stick or audio CD in a presentation case.
