For funeral directors & celebrants
A Dependable Organist for Funeral Directors
When a family asks for live music, you need an organist who answers the phone, turns up early and gets it right. I've been playing for funerals since 1993 — and I make your job easier, not harder.
How I work with you
Simple to book. Reliable on the day.
Quick replies
WhatsApp or call with the date, time and venue and I'll confirm straight back. Short-notice requests are always welcome.
Midweek availability
Morning and afternoon services Monday to Friday, plus Saturdays, across Lancashire and Greater Manchester.
I liaise with the family
With your permission, I'll speak to the family or minister about hymns and music, so you don't have to relay messages.
Early arrival
I'm at the console 45 minutes before the service to prepare the instrument, check hymn numbers and agree cues with the minister or celebrant.
Easy invoicing
Invoices from UK Organist Limited, payable by bank transfer or card, ready to add to your account as a disbursement.
Back-up if I'm unwell
In the rare event I can't attend, I'll arrange a competent deputy organist so the family isn't let down.
Areas covered
Covering churches, chapels and crematoria across the North West
I regularly travel across East Lancashire, Blackburn, Bolton, Bury and Rochdale. If the service is further afield, just ask.
