Funeral Mass
IoL endeavours to help provide, through music, a dignified send-off for your loved ones.
An IoL funeral Mass choir comprises:
Complete set of music for a funeral Mass in church
One musician on (digital) pipe organ or piano
(Where available) one to two choristers
We understand that the passing of a loved one can be quite an emotional and stressful time for the family. We will look after the music for the liturgy so that the bereaved can focus on the Mass.
As funeral Masses could be held during working hours, the number of choristers depends on how many are available at short notice.
To engage IoL for funeral Masses:
Fill up the form here, or contact us via WhatsApp (+65 9085 4165).
We will get back to you within 1 working day to discuss further on how we can tailor a personalised repertoire that resonates with your family.
Obtain permission in advance from the church to use the instrument(s) available, e.g. (digital) pipe organ, piano, etc.
A recommended set of Mass music will be provided, and we will do our best to accommodate any special request.
IoL will arrive early at church on the day to prepare the necessary.

We highly recommend the (digital) pipe organ to better support congregational singing and align with the spirit of the liturgical actions. We are also able to use the piano where preferred.
Please obtain permission from the church in advance to use the instrument(s) available.
“The Lord will save me, and we will sing to stringed instruments all the days of our lives, at the house of the Lord.”
