Eva Cassidy covered Sting's folk ballad 'Fields of Gold' in the year that she died. This beautiful song about love, nature, and the passage of time has a haunting and yet soothing quality, which makes it a popular choice for funerals.

Whether you're looking for a pop soloist, an opera singer or a classical choir for your loved one's funeral we're here to help, all the way through from planning stages to the day itself.

A funeral doesn't have to be a sad occasion.

In fact, the biggest trend we're seeing in funerals is a shift towards celebrating a life. So many of our clients are choosing upbeat, positive music to help them remember their loved one in the happier times.

We've collected together the most uplifting, comforting tunes of all genres that previous clients have chosen, for those who want people to leave their loved one's funeral with a smile 🌈

https://www.londonfuneralsingers.co.uk/articles/happy-songs-for-funerals

Funerals don't have to be doom and gloom. Here's our list of the most popular upbeat and uplifting songs for funerals, as chosen by our previous clients. You'll find lots of variety here, from classic hymns to modern pop and musicals.

There isn't really anyone else doing what we do. We've looked! 👀

As far as we know we are the *only* dedicated, bespoke live funeral music service in the UK. We're not an entertainment agency, or a fixed choir. We're not funeral directors. We don't fit into a box, because bereaved families need a flexible, purpose-built service that can offer support and expertise from both sides.

Visit our website to find out more about our unique service.

“When you walk through the waters, I'll be with you; you will never sink beneath the waves.”
Philip Stopford's Do Not Be Afraid comes from a Bible passage, and gives a sense of comfort: the idea that someone is looking out for you, even in times of darkness.

What song do you choose for a funeral when things aren't straightforward?

We have hundreds of popular songs for funerals on our website, but 'All Things Bright And Beautiful' is not going to cut it for people who feel lost, angry, guilty or numb, and aren't ready to tie their feelings up in a bow.

So we built a list of song recommendations from previous clients' choices and from our online networks, that could help someone dealing with complicated emotions following a death.

We need your help!

Have you ever been to a funeral where relationships were complicated, or the death was unexpected? Sadness and grief aren’t the only emotions that can come with bereavement, and there can be all sorts of other feelings that popular songs don’t address.

We need your help to create a list of funeral song suggestions for when the traditional funeral songs don’t quite cut it.

If there was a song that helped you when you were feeling lost, hurt, angry, confused, guilty, or even just numb, please comment below.

"And though you're gone / You're with me every single day, believe me." 💜

We wrote this arrangement of the Kinks' 'Days' especially for a service in Essex last week. You can hear our singers here rehearsing before the service.

The lyrics are just perfect for a funeral - so much so that Ray Davies, the Kinks' lead singer who wrote the song, said that he'd like it played at his own funeral.

He wrote it for his sister Rosy, who was emigrating to Australia. He said, "It's a goodbye song, but it’s also an inspirational song ... I wanted to write a sad song with an optimistic praise to it."

This funeral director said her heart skipped a beat when the family asked for a live singer.

We know it can be scary for FDs to book live music and we’re here to make sure that doesn’t stop them from providing the best service for their families.

FDs and funeral professionals are welcome to contact us any time if they have questions about music, even if they’re not making a booking. We’re here to help, and to make sure that nothing gets in the way of the joy and comfort that music can bring to a funeral service.

Death is a hard subject, as are funerals. But there’s so much joy and comfort to be found in people coming together to celebrate a loved one. And we like to think music helps ❤️

Thank you Bernice for such a lovely and generous review.

Our Story

We’re Briony and Penelope, the co-founders of The London Funeral Singers.

We began singing together in 2015, performing at funerals around London and the Home Counties. We quickly realised that by expanding our books we could make the most of our contacts in the performing arts to provide the perfect voices for each individual funeral. We started to audition singers, and have since recruited nearly 100 of the best funeral singers in London.

Now we work with some of the biggest funeral directors such as Dignity Funerals and Cooperative Funeralcare, as well as working directly with clients, to provide top quality singers and instrumentalists for funeral services around the UK. We both work personally on every funeral, carefully choosing singers and organising every detail of the music to give our clients the best possible service.

Call us today to book singers, or visit our website find out more about what we do.
