Funerals

Funeral Music

Music can be an important part of a funeral ceremony. Bowmusique can arrange the appropriate music and ensemble to provide a suitable musical tribute.

Music is played at several points in the funeral Mass:

  • As the mourners arrive
  • For the arrival of the coffin or the family
  • During the Offertory Procession
  • For the sign of peace
  • During Holy Communion
  • For the blessing of the coffin
  • As the coffin leaves the church

Feel free to contact us to inquire about this service.
