Whatever you have in mind, we help you choose the right music and musicians, then take care of every detail. You have one point of contact throughout.
With a deep understanding of the Catholic liturgy, James believes in singing the liturgy, rather than simply singing at it. His music flows naturally with the rhythm of prayer, complementing each moment without interrupting or prolonging the service, and bringing beauty, reverence and peace to the farewell.
From the timeless beauty of Gregorian chant and sacred music to Italian favourites, Ave Maria, the soaring melodies made famous by Andrea Bocelli, operatic arias and everything in between.
Sensitive organ playing that supports the liturgy and the congregation.
Gentle piano for reflection, entrances and farewells.
A solo violinist, cellist or a full string quartet.
Small ensembles to full choirs for a deeply solemn atmosphere.
For a farewell of grandeur, arranged and coordinated for you.
Where time allows, an original piece to honour your loved one, bringing an individual musical touch to their farewell. Subject to availability and preparation time.
A bespoke arrangement of a meaningful song or hymn, or suitable existing repertoire adapted for your service where practical.
We understand that saying goodbye involves so much more than arranging a funeral. Through our associated services, we can help you preserve precious memories, celebrate a life beautifully and ease some of the practical responsibilities that accompany the loss of someone you love.
Every life has a story worth preserving.
We capture the stories, voices, wisdom and experiences that make every life unique. Through personal interviews, family archives and specially crafted music, we produce beautiful, individual documentaries that preserve a person's life story for children, grandchildren and generations yet to come.

Live streaming, videos, photographs and keepsake booklets — Angel Stream cares for the practical side of remembering. Let us take the stress out of preparing a funeral tribute: simply send us your photographs, videos and favourite music, and we'll create a beautiful presentation ready for the service. We can also provide equipment and an operator to ensure everything runs smoothly on the day.

Sorting through a loved one's home and belongings can be overwhelming. We help coordinate property clearances, cleaning, storage and preparation for sale, including liaising with real estate professionals — easing the practical burden during a difficult time.

Yes. Most families arrive with only a feeling — a hymn from childhood, a song their loved one sang in the kitchen. We listen first, then suggest music that fits the service and honours the person. Choosing the music should be a gentle part of the farewell, not another task.
We bring our own keyboard and sound equipment, so a live singer and player are still possible in a chapel, funeral home or crematorium that has no instrument of its own.
As early as you like, though funerals are often arranged within days. A single phone call is usually enough to begin — even before the church, celebrant or funeral director are confirmed, we can hold the music while the other details fall into place.
Yes. We coordinate directly with your funeral director, the church or venue, and the celebrant or clergy, so timings, entrances and farewells run quietly on the day and you have one point of contact throughout.
It depends on the musicians you would like — a solo voice and organist is far more affordable than a choir and strings. Tell us what you have in mind and your budget, and we will tell you honestly what is possible.
The music should be the easiest part of organising the funeral.
Give us a call today. We will listen to what matters to you, help you find the right music for your loved one and take the stress out of organising.
