We’ll take care of that special touch and provide only the very best bagpipers to suit your loved one’s funeral. Whether you’re wanting a traditional funeral bagpiper or something a little different, you’ll get a professional service. Funeral bagpipes are a wonderful tribute for any service, plus our pipers are very experienced and will always be sensitive to your needs and requests. Wherever you are, we can find the right piper to suit.
We’ve suggested here the elements of your service that you can have a bagpiper play for. Remember, each service is as individual as your loved one, so you can change things to suit your exact needs.
Traditional Service:
Burial: Whilst the coffin is being taken from the church to the hearse, or graveside. The bagpiper will lead the coffin from the hearse to the graveside. Then pipe at graveside for as long as needed. The bagpiper will discretely leave the graveside whilst playing, leaving the echo of pipes in the distance.
Cremation: Whilst the coffin is taken from the hearse to the crematorium. During the service, as wreaths are laid and curtain is drawn. Finish the service as your guests leave the crematorium.
Price for a Funeral Piper: from £100
