How do I book singers for a funeral?
It can be harder than you think to find the right voices. Here's how we make it easy.
Songs for a graveside funeral
Having singers at the graveside creates a beautiful atmosphere as you say goodbye.
Graveside singing works best unaccompanied (a cappella). Some songs lend themselves to this better than others, so we have listed a few here that sound beautiful with just the singer's voice and no instrumental accompaniment.
If your chosen song isn't listed here, get in touch and we'll find a way to make it work.
Songs that work well at the graveside
Amazing Grace
Schubert's Ave Maria
The Parting Glass
Fields of Athenry
Danny Boy
How Great Thou Art
Jerusalem
The Old Rugged Cross
I Vow To Thee My Country
She Moved Through The Fair
Abide With Me
Lloyd Webber's Pie Jesu
Carrickfergus
Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer (Bread of Heaven)
Plus most traditional hymns and folk songs.
An instrumentalist can be a nice alternative to a singer for a graveside service. We can provide instrumentalists of all kinds, from violinists and flautists to guitarists and bagpipers.
