Jazz funerals require a
traditional New Orleans style jazz band. | |||

Funerals are difficult occasions for all concerned,
this New Orleans jazz band can help you organise appropriate music
for a jazz funeral, to either, celebrate
the life of your loved one or, to mark their passing with music they
enjoyed.
Traditionally at New Orleans funerals jazz music is played sombrely with spirituals and dirges prior to interment, then afterwards, joyfully to celebrate their life.
However, for funerals in the UK most people ask for happy jazz music going to the interment as a celebration of their life and possibly again afterwards at the wake.
This jazz band has played at many jazz funerals in England, walking in front of the Cortège, or playing music during the service whether religious or secular, at the graveside and very often at the reception or wake afterwards (people say it helps break the awkward silence).
Acoustic Jass are happy to speak directly to funeral directors and/or family members and they understand that funerals happen at short notice.
