Not normally required
I sing at many different venues for funerals and memorials. Church and crematorium are the most likely but also at gravesides and at favourite places of the person who has passed like Golf Clubs.
Funerals and Memorials are very personal to the person and to the family and friends and so the greatest song to them is always the most important for me to sing for them.
I sang at my first funeral aged 14 for my Uncle. I have sung at hundreds of funerals and memorials and each one has been totally unique.
Music is so powerful for the healing process and so many times people have said that the music brought them closure and peace. If I can give that to people with my singing it is an honour
