A piper will give a fitting tribute to the memory of the departed and reflect the mood of the occasion. The musical canon for the bagpipes is full of tunes that range from sad and contemplative to uplifting and joyous, which is why the pipes have been heard at funerals and gravesides for centuries. As a guide, the sound of the pipes will complement the following parts of the day:-

Pipes to greet arrival of mourners at the funeral venue.

Pipes to play as coffin is carried into the funeral venue.

Pipes to play as part of the ceremony.

Pipes heard at the graveside or a short distance away.

Pipe mourners as they arrive at the post-ceremony venue.

Our discussion in advance of the day will determine the extent of the role you wish me to play. You may also have tunes which you would specifically like to hear. Tunes which are often requested at funerals include Highland Cathedral, Amazing Grace, Abide With Me, The Mist Covered Mountains and Going Home. I can recommend other good tunes too which will be melodic and fitting. I am more than happy to meet with you in advance to play through some tunes which may feature on the day.
