Funerals

A Traditional Funeral Bagpiper

Funeral Packages include:

  • Traditional & Appropriate Music to depart from the home or another venue.
  • Music as mourners arrive at church, chapel or crematorium.
  • Music as coffin enters church, chapel or crematorium.
  • Leading coffin to the graveside with mourners.
  • Fitting music at final farewell.

I work closely with funeral directors and family members. To ensure each occasion is unique, and individual requests are delivered exactly.

A wide repertoire of music is available, and I can accommodate requests for specific songs.

I’m a professional Scottish bagpiper for hire. Available 7 days a week. I grew up in Glasgow and started learning the pipes at 11 years old. Then moved to the north of England in my early 20s. I have 30 years continuous experience playing to a high standard with pipe bands in Scotland and England. I’ve performed at hundreds of events as a solo musician. Including weddings, funerals, birthday parties, and more.
