On average, live funeral musicians charge $200-$400. The exact price will vary depending on the type of music you want, how long you want them to perform, and the musician’s skill level.
Many different types of music can be played at a funeral, including classical, religious, or popular songs that were meaningful to the lost loved one or their family. If you want music to be performed live, you have several options. You can hire a pianist or guitarist to play background music, a classical singer to perform a song or two, or a bagpiper for a traditional funeral service.
Most funeral musicians will have a vast repertoire of popular songs for you to choose from for the service. If what you want is not on their existing song list, they may be able to learn it. Just be sure to make this request as soon as possible so they have time to prepare.
The family or loved ones of the deceased typically handle the details of the funeral planning, which includes hiring live musicians. Sometimes funeral directors may make suggestions or provide a list of options.
Some traditional songs that are commonly played at funerals include “Amazing Grace,” “Ave Maria,” “How Great Thou Art,” and “The Lord’s Prayer.”
