Music & Hymns
Personalise the service with Music and Hymns that will reflect the memories of your loved ones.
Music for a Funeral Service in Church
Music can be played as the coffin is carried in and out of the church. Please note: The Minister would need to give consent.
If no music is requested, the organist will play something appropriate upon entry and exit.
Music for a Funeral Service at the Crematorium
Music can be played as we carry the coffin into the chapel, during the service and when we exit the chapel. All music is downloaded onto the crematorium music system via a specialist company.
We need to know your music choices for Church and Crematorium services as soon as possible please:
The title of the song/hymn
Artist/Composer
Order to be played
Please Note: Music at the crematorium is provided by Obitus, a specialist company. Due to strict copyright laws some versions of songs on YouTube are unable to be downloaded onto the crematorium system.

Hymns
The following is a selection of more popular hymns however, there are many more you can choose from:
Abide with me
All things bright and beautiful
Alleluia! sing to Jesus
Amazing grace
And did those feet (Jerusalem)
Blest are the pure in heart
Dear Lord and Father of mankind
Eternal Father strong to save
Guide me, O thou great Redeemer
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
I am the bread of life
I heard the voice of Jesus say
I vow to thee my country
Immortal invisible God only wise
In Heavenly love abiding
Jesus lives! thy terrors now
Jesus, lover of my soul
Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us
Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy
Love divine, all loves excelling
Love’s redeeming work is done
Make me a channel of your peace
Morning has broken
Now thank we all our God
O God, our help in ages past
O Jesus, I have promised
O Love that wilt not let me go
Old rugged cross
Onward Christian soldiers
Peace, perfect peace
Praise my soul, the King of Heaven
Rock of ages, cleft for me
The day thou gavest, Lord is ended
The King of love my Shepherd is
The strife is o’er, the battle done
There is a green hill far away
There is a Redeemer
Thine be the glory
We plough the fields and scatter
When I survey the wondrous cross
Extremely professional, very high standards, couldn’t ask for any better. Would recommend Thornalleys 100%. Andrew was very attentive, kind and nothing was too much to ask, made the whole process that little bit easier.
