The Funeral Singer

A MUSICAL TRIBUTE

The Funeral Singer

A MUSICAL TRIBUTE

Eileen McCann (P.Dip.AGM Hons) is a professional funeral singer, whose crystal clear voice has been described as ‘the voice of an angel’.

She has been singing at funerals for over 17 years and is guaranteed to add a beautiful and memorable ambience to the Funeral Service, ensuring a dignified ceremony.

As a soloist, Eileen plays instrumentals on the violin to create a warm atmosphere before the service actually begins. During the funeral service Eileen plays the guitar to accompany her angelic voice.

Additional accompanying musicians may be added to provide a range of instrumentation, e.g. flute, harp, cello. As a duo combination the addition of the keyboard or organ and harmony vocals adds a further dimension to the music.

Performing at a funeral requires a special type of sensitivity that can only come with experience. Funeral singing requires a knowledge of how the Funeral Service works and the ability to remain composed and professional.

To Dear Eileen,

Many thanks for helping us make this very important time memorable. Music was a very special part of Kath’s life (and ours), and she would have really loved your amazing voice, especially knowing that you are of Irish descent like her.

I hope our paths will cross again, but next time on a much happier occasion.

Kind regards,
Rob, Nadia, Christine, Ray and the Warin Family

Thank you so much for filling in on such short notice.

I appreciate how you are so compassionate and professional helping me choose the current music.

Thank you again,
Maureen Murville

Your contribution to Prem Chandra’s requiem mass is greatly appreciated by the family. God Bless.

Kids regards,
Chandra Family

Thank you for providing instrumentation and vocals at the funeral of my father, Johan Hermsen, as such short notice.

You bestowed a serene and relaxing atmosphere to a very sad occasion.

With deepest appreciation,
Liesbeth Reid

Funeral service planning

Advanced planning of your service will help your family immensely. It is a comfort to all concerned when you have already chosen the style of service you would like together with your musical tribute preferences.

Choose whether it is a religious or secular funeral, the style of flowers, the music you do or do not want to have played or sung. Would you like to nominate a charity for donations instead of money being spent on flowers? Plan the readings or poems you would like presented or included in the funeral brochure.

Your personal input into the ceremony will add depth and integrity to your service.

The service of ‘Planning Your Own Musical Tribute' is conducted in a one off meeting, which is comparable to creating a will. Eileen will help you set in place the details of your own future funeral. This is documented with copies to be kept with your will and with your next of kin. It can be as detailed or as simple as you wish, the goal is to remove stress, doubt and unnecessary cost during your loved ones' time of grief.
