We understand that funerals are a sad and sombre time for any family, but they are also a time to reflect on memories and celebrate a loved ones life and achievements.

Here at Steelasophical Event Hire we can supply projectors and screens for the church/crematorium or memorial service, as well as background music or a full music at the wake/celebration.

If you are holding a larger service or perhaps your venue doesn’t carry their own sound system, then we can provide a system to be used by you for background music or with microphones for speeches and testaments.

This places me in very unique position of truly understanding the balance between grieving and celebration of life by means of music!

Wake

A very popular choice is to have Steelasophical perform music during the wake. It will create just the right mood while family and friends gather and together celebrate in the memories of the departed, in a uplifting but respectful way. The gathering after the funeral is commonly known as ‘the wake’. It is also referred to as ‘the reception’. There is no requirement to have a wake but it is a long-standing tradition and mourners may want to meet up after the ritual of the funeral service to remember the deceased in a more informal setting.

As an experienced musician, Gary travels throughout the UK in order to play at Funerals and other events.

Gary is the founder of Steelasophical, a leading provider of Caribbean musical services based in the UK

By its very nature, a funeral is a very emotive event, and the most appropriate time for family and loved ones to say a final farewell to the deceased person.

No two funerals are the same, and sometimes he receives requests for tunes that are not usually associated with funerals or the loss of a loved one, but none the less are important to the family.

Gary also knows that everything has to be right first time, and from the moment of the initial enquiry, he will listen and understand individual requirements and give immediate and initial advice without obligation

Should you appoint him, he will then work with the undertaker and/or the family advising on appropriate protocols and actions, and where appropriate advising on music choice.
