On Bagpipe Music for Funerals and Memorial Services

For more than 1000 years people around the world have commemorated their dead with the music of the Bagpipes. Whether the deceased was a warrior slain in battle, an elder of the clan, or a loved one in the community, the pipes brought to this sorrowful time a comfort and musical vision that reached deep into the souls of the listeners.

I will provide music and an elegant and stately performance for your:

  Prelude
Processional
Postlude
Recessional
Meditation or
Graveside Ceremony

I play a large repertoire of airs and hymns from the Scottish, Irish, and sacred traditions, among them are: Amazing Grace, Abide with Me, Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms, Danny Boy, A Mighty Fortress is Our God, Faith of Our Fathers, The Lord is My Shepherd, In the Garden, The Old Rugged Cross, The Flowers of the Forest, Lochaber No More, Going Home, The Celtic Allelulia, Precious Lord, Take My Hand, McPherson's Lament, Here I Am Lord, O for a Closer Walk with God, Be Thou My Vision, Morning Has Broken, My Fair, Dear, Gentle Eileen, Star of the County Down, Will the Circle Be Unbroken, Rock of Ages, etc.
