Funerals & Celebrations of Life

If you have recently lost someone, my heart is with you. When friends and family come together to grieve the loss and celebrate the life of a loved one, a collective emotional release is needed. Music is often the best way for a group to have such an experience, and I would be humbled to facilitate that catharsis for your meaningful occasion. I typically sing two to three songs during a ceremony, and I am always happy to adapt my performance to your unique situation.

If you are interested in hiring me for these services, please send me a message with the event details and your phone number. I will reach out to address any questions or preferences you may have prior to the ceremony. I can perform at indoor or outdoor events, and I am available on short notice to travel anywhere reasonably close to Ashland, WI or Ironwood, MI. I typically ask $150 as a base rate. If you request for me to prepare a song that is not on my Autoharp Set List, I ask an additional $50.

You may wish to request a song that was particularly loved by the person who has passed on. My Autoharp Set List probably contains a song or two that they particularly enjoyed.
