Finding the ways to say goodbye to someone close is never easy. A beautiful song can add a personal touch and bring closeness within the ceremony.

When we feel bereaved, music can be uplifting and can express how we feel more eloquently.

I can coordinate your music preferences for the service as I will be the contact with your church accompanist with whom I will arrange a rehearsal to ensure everything is perfect.

If a cremation is taking place I can also arrange to provide the music, particularly if you feel an accompanist is not needed.

There are no rules as to the type of music you can choose. Please feel free to discuss this with myself or the minister.

I understand this can be a hard time so if you feel more comfortable contacting me via email rather than over the phone then please do so.

When convenient I will arrange to meet with you and your family to discuss the musical arrangements.

“Beautiful, truly wonderful voice, we felt so blessed to have had you present at my Nan’s funeral. From the moment you took to the stage to the last notes you sang it was absolutely amazing, so professional.

Me and my family want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making the service so happily memorable."

As a family we are so grateful to Joanne. We knew for six months that mum wanted a classical singer to perform ‘Time to say goodbye’ at her funeral service, but while she was fighting her illness it never felt right to look into such arrangements. When the time came we then had a week to find a singer who could sing at the church service. We found Joanne through this site and were immediately impressed. She then responded quickly to the first enquiry and from that point on was very helpful and accommodating by email and phone. In the end Joanne performed three songs and led a hymn too; bringing such a special quality to the service. Everybody was so impressed and we were so very happy to have been able to give mum the service she had asked for. A huge thanks once again from us all.

Would just like to say a heart felt thank you to joanne. Joanne sang at my dads funeral and made it extra special at the most sadest day of our life.

Nothing was too much trouble and she bent over backwards to make the day go smoothly. Not only a wonderful singer but an incrediable person aswell. The song 'dance with my father again' has such a special memory for me.

Joanne singing the song so magically for my dad is a memory now i can treasure for ever.

I can not put in enough words what you have done for myself and my family.

 I know for sure dad will be dancing in heaven with my mum  now xxx
