Abide With Me
One of the most beloved funeral hymns in the English tradition. The choral harmonies bring a depth of consolation and warmth that is moving in a service setting.

We perform

What we provide
Every funeral booking includes a personal consultation with Luca Wetherall, our Artistic Director. He will talk through your music choices, suggest repertoire that suits the tone you want, and handle coordination with your funeral director and officiant. You receive a confirmed running order at least 48 hours before the service.
On the day, our singers arrive 45 minutes before the service begins. They rehearse in the venue, check acoustics, and confirm positions with the officiant. During the service, they lead up to three congregational hymns and perform up to three choral or solo pieces. After the service, they can provide reflective music as mourners leave.
We perform in churches, crematoriums, chapels, synagogues, and outdoor spaces across the UK. Most families complete the whole process in two or three short conversations. If time is short, do not wait: we have arranged singers at a few hours of notice before, and most families contact us two to five days before the service.
We sing at churches, crematoriums, and chapels across the UK — most often in London, Oxford, and Manchester, but we travel further when families need us.
Many of our bookings are for non-religious or humanist services — celebrations of life held at crematoriums, woodland venues, or community halls. We adapt the music accordingly: secular songs and instrumental pieces work as well as hymns, and a soloist or small ensemble suits the more intimate format. See our guide to non-religious funeral music and celebration of life music for fuller suggestions.
In the event of a musician’s illness, we always have a replacement available from our roster of over 150 singers — bookings are never cancelled at short notice for our reasons.
“I still can’t talk about it without welling up. The moment they started singing, the whole room just fell silent. Dad would have been so chuffed.”
“Luca rang us back within an hour and talked us through everything with such kindness. The singers were wonderful — they gave Mum the send-off she deserved.”
