Question 1

How much do funeral singers cost?

Accepted Answer

A funeral soloist starts from 250 + VAT. A small choir of four singers is 1,295 + VAT, a full choir of eight is 2,295 + VAT, and a chorus of twelve singers is 3,595 + VAT. Travel charges apply outside of London. Each quote is bespoke and tailored to your requirements.

Question 2

Do you only cover London?

Accepted Answer

We started out in London but we can now perform anywhere in the UK. We have singers based in London, Surrey, Middlesex, Hertfordshire, Kent, Essex, Bedfordshire, Oxfordshire, Cambridgeshire, the West Midlands, Hampshire, Dorset, and Norfolk. Travel expenses apply if your service is outside of London.

Question 3

How much notice do you need to book funeral singers?

Accepted Answer

Ideally we would like a minimum of one week to source exactly the right singers and make all the arrangements, but we can send singers with as little as a day notice. Because we draw on a book of over 150 singers we will always be able to find singers for you, no matter the day, time, or location.

Question 4

Can I have singers at a graveside burial?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we often sing at graveside services. Having music at the graveside or at an outdoor service is a popular option, and can help bring a more focused and intimate feel to an outdoor service.

Question 5

Do you provide singers for all types of funerals?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we sing at both religious and secular funerals, and funerals of any religion or tradition. We are popular among the Catholic community, but we equally sing very often at Church of England, Methodist, and Baptist services. We respect all beliefs and customs.

Question 6

How many singers should I have at a funeral?

Accepted Answer

We can provide everything from a single soloist to a choir of twenty. More singers will always result in a more uplifting performance. If the singers will be leading traditional hymns we recommend choirs in multiples of four, as most hymns are written in four parts. We are happy to advise based on your requirements.

Question 7

Can I choose any songs for the funeral?

Accepted Answer

Yes, anything. We have a wide range of singers and will match whatever music you choose to the right voices. We can also provide song suggestions and advise on what works best for different choir sizes and styles.

Question 8

Do you provide organists and instrumentalists for funerals?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide trained and vetted organists for 250 + VAT. We also have professional instrumentalists on our books including pianists, trumpeters, violinists, flautists, saxophonists, and string ensembles.
