Funerals with Piper Jack

If the service takes place outside, one common request is to have the bagpiper play as the hearse and guests arrive onsite.  Continue playing while all the family exits their vehicles.

Once Funeral Director is ready, Bagpiper can lead casket to the graveside and continue playing until all the family and friends are gathered around casket and clergy is ready to begin service.

After Priest/Minister finishes the final prayer. (Excluding Military Honors), Bagpiper will begin playing Amazing Grace.

As flowers are being placed on the casket and friends and family are all saying their “Goodbyes”, Going Home is a very appropriate song to play as the bagpiper slowly walks away from the graveside. 

Once away from the gravesite, bagpipes will turn and continue playing until family is finished saying their final "Farewells" to their Loved One! 

 Memorials, Wakes, and Celebrations of Life can differ from 

Church and Graveside Funeral Services, 

as the music can range from traditional, reverent tunes, such as: 

Amazing Grace, Going Home, Simple Gifts, etc., 

To more uplifting and lively tunes, such as: 

The Minstrel Boy, Green Hills of Tyrol, Scotland the Brave, etc. 

Similar to Funerals, the most commonly requested time for the piper to play is:

A. As guests arrive.

                               B. Selected time(s) during the service.

                         C. At the conclusion of the service.
