FUNERALS

​

Bagpipers have played laments at Funerals and Memorial Services for centuries.  The pipes add a special air and dignity to the solemn occasion. Today, the tradition is universal and not just for the Irish or Scottish. The emotive music awakens touching and poinent memories of loved ones in a manner that is both respectful and dignified.

 

FUNERAL OR MEMORIAL SERVICES  can be a combination of the following:

​

• The piper can be located within the Church/Chapel or just outside if preferred.

• The piper can play outside the Church/Chapel as mourners arrive

• The piper plays as the family enter the Church/Chapel

• The piper plays as the casket is bought into the Church/Chapel

• During the service, the piper can play a tune with special significance

• The piper plays as the casket is carried out of the Church/Chapel

• The piper plays in front of the Hearse for a short distance as it pulls away from the Church/Chapel

• The piper plays as the funeral procession arrives at the cemetery

• The piper plays during the burial service

• The piper plays at the conclusion of the service

• The piper plays as family and friends are leaving
