Light evening. A memorial meeting,
consider the deceased..
Watch and listen to me:
Bagpipe music at a funeral
Music is an important part of any funeral
service.
The bagpipes have been commemorating the
loss of our loved ones with music at funeral
services for hundreds of years.
Many people associate bagpipes with
funerals. This is because they powerfully
touch our deepest emotions. The soulful and
haunting sounds of the bagpipes express
feelings that words alone may fail to convey.
It is ‘live’ music that I bring, I am available to
the people, in contrast to distant,
electronically produced music from
loudspeakers.
This music can be played in the church or
other building where the funeral service is
held, but also as the coffin is being borne to
the deceased’s final resting place in the
graveyard or crematorium.
