Funerals
THE HONOUR IS ALL MINE
In recent years, the sound of Bagpipes has become associated with funeral services. Perhaps it is the ancient, non-western scale of the instrument or the soulful and haunting sounds that it makes. But for whatever the reason,
many people want to have bagpipes played at a funeral service.
How many times have you seen coverage on the evening news of a funeral for a fireman or policeman who has given their life in the performance of their duties, you can usually hear a piper in the background playing Amazing Grace.
Being one of the most outstanding Sydney bagpipers may I suggest for a Funeral Service
-
Bagpipes can be played outside as mourners arrive.
-
Inside the Chapel or Church.
-
Play as the family enters.
-
Play as the casket is brought in.
-
At any point in the service, the piper could play a special hymn or tune on either kind of pipes.
The piper could be in the same room, or off in the distance (or outside) if preferred. -
The pipes can be played as the casket is carried out of the chapel.
-
Bagpipes can be played as the funeral procession arrives, during the graveside service,
or after the service is over and friends and family are leaving. -
The piper to be at a distance and out of sight when the tune is started.
Then move slowly move towards the graveside before the hymn is completed.
