Bagpipe player for Funerals - Greater Sydney Area.
In recent years, the sound of Bagpipes has become associated with funeral services. Perhaps it is the ancient, non-western scale of the instrument, or the soulful and haunting sounds that it makes. But for whatever the reason, many people want to have bagpipes played at a funeral service.
How many times have you seen coverage on the evening news of a funeral for a fireman or policeman who have given their life in the performance of their duties, you can usually hear a piper in the background playing Amazing Grace.
Suggestions for the Funeral Service
* Bagpipes can be played outside as mourners arrive.
* Inside the Chapel or Church. .
* Play as the family enters.
* Play as the casket is brought in.
* At any point in the service, the piper could play a special hymn, or tune on either kind of pipes. The piper could be in the same room, or off in the distance (or outside) if preferred.
* The pipes can be played as the casket is carried out of the chapel.
* Bagpipes can be played as the funeral procession arrives, during the graveside service, or after the service is over and friends and family are leaving.
* The piper to be at a distance and out of sight, when the tune is started. Then move slowly move towards the graveside before the hymn is completed.
