Questions families often have.
Every service is different. These answers cover the practical starting points, and Harry can discuss the details with you personally.
Can Harry help us choose the songs?
Yes. You can begin with a favourite song, a hymn or simply the feeling you want the music to carry. Harry can help narrow the choices and confirm what will work for the service.
Can the service include religious and non-religious music?
Harry can sing hymns, traditional music and contemporary songs. Churches and other venues may have their own guidance, so final choices are agreed with the officiant or venue where required.
How does accompaniment work?
Harry can coordinate with an organist or musician already involved in the service, or discuss an appropriate backing setup where the venue permits it.
Where does Harry travel?
Belfast and Northern Ireland are the main service area. Enquiries from elsewhere in Ireland are welcome when the date and travel make it possible.
What if the funeral is at short notice?
Send the date, location and the details you have. Harry will confirm availability as quickly as he can, but the booking is not in place until he has confirmed it personally.
How much does funeral singing cost?
The fee depends on the location, timings, number of songs and accompaniment. Harry will confirm the cost after reviewing the service details, before you decide to proceed.
Tell Harry what you know about the service.
Share the date, location and any songs already in mind. Harry will reply personally to confirm availability and discuss the next steps.
