Playing Amazing Grace while lowering the coffin at a nature cemetary

Bagpipe music at a funeral Music is an important part of any funeral service. The bagpipes have been commemorating the loss of our loved ones with music at funeral services for hundreds of years. Many people associate bagpipes with funerals. This is because they powerfully touch our deepest emotions. The soulful and haunting sounds of the bagpipes express feelings that words alone may fail to convey. It is ‘live’ music that I bring. Live music is pure and comes close to the heart. Music releases something different from text and touches deeper emotions. Friends and relatives can physically focus on something, there is contact. This in contrast to distant electronically generated music from loudspeakers. The energy emanating from living music directly influences the energy of the farewell service. This music can be played in the church or other building where the funeral service is held, but also as the coffin is being borne to its final resting place in the graveyard or the crematorium.
