This page is provided as a resource to help you choose music that you feel may be suitable for the service of a loved one.
If you are having a choir at your loved one's service and you are producing printed Orders of Service, please provide sufficient copies for the choir to use so that we can ensure everyone is singing the same words! As a guideline, please allow for 12-15 copies. Thank you!
This is a new page - we aim to provide links so you can listen to the following music shortly.
