Funeral Vocalist

For more than 35 years, I have been honored to provide music for funerals, memorial services, and graveside ceremonies throughout New England. I approach each service with sensitivity, compassion, and respect, considering my work not only a profession, but a ministry as well.

Having sung for both religious and non-religious services, my repertoire includes music appropriate for a variety of faith traditions and settings. If there is a meaningful piece not currently in my repertoire, I am happy to consider special requests whenever possible.

If you would like to inquire about my availability and fee for a funeral or memorial service, please contact me at: music@monicahatch.com
