Please have a listen to our sound files below to know what a professional bagpiper sounds like. With something as special as a memorial service, it is important to ensure quality of sound. We have even learned new tunes over night to accommodate special requests. This is what typically happens, but we have had other requests before, and have gladly worked with our clients to ensure that they have a seamless experience. If the services are military related, bagpipes are usually saved for the very end, after the military honor guard has finished their part of the service. Once the services have been concluded, the piper usually stays and play as people disburse. Sometimes, the casket isn't lowered until after the ceremony, so the piper might play during a predetermined queue. If there is a casket, the piper usually plays "Amazing Grace" as the casket is being lowered. From our experience, this is usually how bagpipes are incorporated with Memorial Services: Normally, with Memorial services, the piper should arrive early and play either outside the funeral home, near the grave site or place where the services will be held as people arrive. Nothing speaks to the soul like a well tuned bagpipe. Honoring our loved ones with Bagpipes is a time honored tradition.
