Organist, Ross McDonald is a native of London, Ontario. he is well known as a classical and theatre organist and a church organist. He has performed in the USA and Canada, and performs regularly in Toronto at the Historic Casa Loma; on Canada's largest Wurlitzer theatre pipe organ. Ross also accompanies silent movies with live organ accompaniment. Ross has been a church musician for most of his life, and is currently organist and choir director at Trinity Lutheran Church in London and the Westview Funeral Chapel.

Music for funerals these days is chosen from many different styles and periods in time, such as traditional hymns, light classics, opera themes, big band ballads from the 40's, musicals, or contemporary music such as Wind Beneath My Wings.

Hymns can be selected to be sung by everyone or a soloist. There is fine sounding organ in the chapel. If you prefer the sound of a piano, Ross can supply his own digital piano (with enough lead time), to you at a modest extra charge. The most important thing about music is, that it has meaning to you, and that you relate to it. To assist you with the music, the staff will ask you what type of music you like, and if you have any particular request.
