The experience of loss can bring times of difficult decisions and the feeling of overwhelming sadness. When the days comes to say a final goodbye the sound of the pipes has a way to ease emotions and bring a sense of peace to the occasion.
The sound of bagpipes is mournful and haunting, but it can also be stirring and beautiful, evoking a sense of reverence and respect with an ability to communicate in a way you are unable to with words.
Timothy Parker-Simm – Funeral Director
Martin is here to help with the planning of your loved one’s funeral service. Offering a bespoke one to one professional service, Martin will speak directly with you to discuss all options available, including:
All necessary communications with funeral directors and other third parties will be undertaken by Martin to ensure a smooth and flawless process on the day.
A touching moment as the hearse approaches the family home. Martin can play as family and friends gather in a familiar place before the departure to what will inevitably be a final resting place.
Martin can lead the procession to and from the funeral service location, playing a traditional Scottish lament or other appropriate funeral tune.
Several hymns can be played on the bagpipes or maybe a more fitting for the service, a piece of reflection music could be played.
A final tribute can be played as the casket is lowered into the ground, providing a powerful and moving moment for all in attendance.
If there is a reception or gathering following the service, a selection of music can be played as people arrive or some shorts bursts of background music could be played as people gather and tell stories of old.
