ABOUT US

Music & stationery

 

Hymns, recorded tracks, a live singer or a piper.

 

Crematoria and most churches can play almost any commercial recording through their own system, and we book the music with them so you do not have to. Bring us a list, a playlist or simply the names of the songs.

Music plays a key role in funerals, and today’s digital world makes it easy to incorporate a range of musical choices. At CT Butterfields, a trusted funeral directors in Swinton & Rotherham, we can arrange everything from a lone piper to classical organ music. Most churches have equipment for music playback, and crematoria offer organ and digital music systems, allowing families to select meaningful songs.

We provide a standard in-house design for an order of service, but can also create bespoke designs to reflect the personality of your loved one. These custom designs are a beautiful keepsake for family and friends to remember them by.
