I perform a selection of heart-felt songs and instrumentals, accompanying myself with the choice of piano or harp, in Limerick City, County, and surrounding areas.
I appreciate that notice is typically short when organizing a funeral mass, so I do what I can to offer support for music planning during this time – whether that means selecting some beautiful hymns for you, or working with your own requests at short notice.
I can download and play a recording of any song through my iPod and sound system, should there be a particular version of a song that is significant to the family or loved one.
Below is a selection of suggested hymns, secular songs, and instrumentals, to help to make it as easy as possible to choose appropriate music. The outline below is for a Catholic funeral mass music, but I am also available for humanist and other types of funerals and memorials.
