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.
Leave your details and Martin will be in touch to discuss bringing the sound of the Scottish Highlands to your event.
