Music for a
dignified farewell
Piano and cello give memories, gratitude and quiet emotions a gentle space — personally selected and respectfully woven into the ceremony.
When words are not enough
Familiar music can offer comfort, evoke memories and bring a sense of closeness.
We accompany funerals, farewell ceremonies and memorial services in churches, chapels, cemeteries or private spaces. We coordinate the pieces, cues and transitions sensitively with the family, clergy or ceremony leader.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most important questions for reliable planning.
Can you play a personal favourite song?
Yes. We check whether a suitable arrangement already exists or whether the piece can be arranged for piano and cello.
Do you coordinate directly with the church or ceremony leader?
Of course. Once you have approved this, we clarify cues, duration, positioning and other organisational details directly.
Can the music accompany only part of the ceremony?
Yes. Individual musical contributions are possible, as is musical accompaniment throughout the entire farewell ceremony.
Do you perform throughout Switzerland?
Yes. SwissDuo is based in Zurich and accompanies farewell ceremonies throughout Switzerland.
