The Drover’s Ballad offers a musical way to remember someone loved. A tribute evoking droving, rural life and Australia’s pastoral heritage. As a funeral selection, it can provide space for personal memories and feelings that are difficult to express in a spoken tribute.
This selection can be considered for a celebration-of-life slideshow or a tribute describing the person’s interests. If sung live, choose a performer and accompaniment that suit the selected version; if played as a recording, agree the timing and length with the funeral team.
When choosing The Drover’s Ballad for a service, consider the hobbies, landscape or way of life that made the person distinctive. Listen to the complete recording with the family and check its words, arrangement and emotional tone before deciding where it belongs in the ceremony.
