Funerals

uitvaart afscheid zangeres

You are saying goodbye

My condolences during this difficult time

Sometimes there are no words for the emotions that come with saying goodbye and mourning. Music supports these emotions during the farewell, when the life and memories of your loved one are remembered. As an experienced funeral singer, I offer my services to make the last tribute to your loved one warm and unforgettable.

Live singing, fitting for a personal funeral

Every funeral is unique, just like the loved one you are saying goodbye to. Music plays a crucial role in creating an appropriate atmosphere during this difficult moment. Together with you, I will choose the right music that suits the funeral service and the memories that you want to cherish. Whether you choose serene and comforting melodies during the ceremony, or a favorite song of your passed loved one to celebrate their personality: I will work with you to arrange the musical setting according to your wishes.

​

Moments of live singing during the funeral service

There are several moments when live singing can take place during a farewell. As a farewell singer I can provide live singing during the farewell, accompanied by a musician or sound track at these moments:

​

  • Upon the arrival of the deceased loved one;  

  • During a special memorial moment;

  • When friends and family say goodbye; 

  • During a moment of reflection; 

  • At the end of the funeral; 

  • During the placing of the flowers;

  • During the reception after the funeral; 

  • During the farewell at the cemetery;

  • At other times that you wish.

Why choose Meghan?

Choosing the right singer for the funeral of your loved one is an important decision. These are the reasons why I am the right choice for the funeral.

​

Personal approach: 

Every funeral is unique, and that is why I offer a personal approach in which I work closely with you, or the funeral director, to create the right musical accompaniment for the funeral. We discuss the wishes and preferences in detail, so that the music fully matches the vision and memories that you want to cherish.

​

Brainstorming together and advice: 

With my experience and insight I like to think with you about what fits the ceremony best. Whether it is about choosing songs that have a special meaning or creating the right atmosphere at different times of the day, I am ready to advise and support you.

​

Experience and professional: 

With years of experience as a singer, I have the skill to make every performance a success. My experience in singing at important emotional moments guarantees that I am prepared for every situation and know how to deliver the best performance.

​

Flexibility: 

Every funeral is different and I am flexible enough to adapt to your schedule and unexpected changes. Whether it is a last minute request or a change in timing, I will make sure everything runs smoothly. Please note: For last minute requests, I may have to keep the lyrics with me during the performance and there might be additional charges.

​

Diverse repertoire: 

My repertoire is diverse and covers a wide range of musical styles, from serene melodies to modern songs. This allows me to offer the perfect songs to suit every moment of the funeral, from the ceremony to the reception afterwards.

​

Professional sound system: 

In addition to my singing services, I also provide a professional sound system to ensure that the music is of the highest quality. This high-quality equipment ensures that every song sounds clear and full of emotions, without technical issues. It is of course also possible to sing without equipment for a more intimate atmosphere.
