Toni and Kirsty naturally adapt their voices to any space, from the smallest of chapels to cathedrals and outside woodlands.
Whether singing as a soloist or a duo, Southern Funeral Singers will add an elegant, dignified and respectful touch to any service.
They are also incredibly helpful with music advice and suggestions to help you plan the perfect farewell for a loved one.

“It was a day full of sorrow leavened with memories of much happier times and the singing lifted all our hearts and made another lovely memory. Thank you! I would book them again in a heartbeat. Totally professional but invested in making the performance exactly as I wanted it to be.”
A sublime alternative to hymns!
Chris booked Southern Funeral Singers for their event
“I just wanted to thank you for your great work to make R's funeral a smooth, memorable and enjoyable event. Everyone said how much they thoroughly enjoyed the celebration of R and remarked on how much we all think he would have enjoyed it and how annoyed he would have been to have been otherwise engaged. Many said how they wanted to applaud the arias! We were all grateful to have been spared groaning out a hymn and to be given a sublime alternative.”
