Funerals & Memorials

Funerals and Memorials 

We are sorry you found yourselves here in this way, and will strive to help you make your funeral or memorial a fitting tribute to your loved one. Harp music played during a funeral can provide a soothing and comforting environment for loved ones and friends. Despite taking up just a small amount of space, the harp can have a huge impact on the surrounding atmosphere. Welcoming your guests as they arrive to celebrate your loved one with a subtle, light melody, the harp will communicate the atmosphere you choose to create without demanding attention. It provides an ambient sound that carries across a room well, without forcing guests to raise their voices to be heard. 

This service is bespoke to accommodate your needs. Clemmie offers a consultation without charge in person, by email or over the phone as required during this sensitive time. Below is an example for your consideration.

Funeral

A typical funeral service arrangement could comprise: 

Arrival of guests: a range of melodies to welcome guests as they are seated. This is often 30 to 45 minutes. 

The entrance of the coffin: usually an excerpt of a piece that best suits the length of the aisle or room. 

The committal (crematorium only): a piece, or an excerpt of a piece, usually of your choosing. Clemmie is happy to make suggestions if you prefer. 

Closing music: usually an excerpt of a piece that best suits the length of the aisle or room. This is usually of your choosing, but Clemmie is happy to make suggestions. 

Exit of the guests: a range of melodies to accompany guests as they leave. This often comprises several pieces as it can take some time depending on the family arrangements. 

Memorial

A typical memorial arrangement or funeral reception at a venue could comprise:

Drinks reception or buffet reception 

A range of melodies from the repertoire as your guests take the opportunity to talk and remember your loved one. The length of the package you require can be discussed on consultation. Clemmie will play throughout this agreed period, with short comfort breaks only as required. 

Please contact Cariad Harps with any requests you may have. We will strive to accommodate your needs.
