Why Scottish bagpipes at a Funeral?

From the haunting, the eternal melody of a Scottish bagpipe’s slow is to the lilt of a quick march, the sound of the pipes has moved and touched hearts thru the ages. Rich in history and with an unparalleled nobility of spirit, the bagpipe brings an added dimension of pomp and ceremony to any service.

No other instrument captures and sets the mood of the moment. No other instrument so touches the heart, perhaps the very soul. The skirl of the bagpipes has played men into battle for centuries. The melodies that inspired men were heard from the highlands, glens, and moors of Scotland and Ireland.

The bagpipe is one instrument that has been used in state funerals as well as military funerals for centuries. They have also had a commanding presence in other state or military affairs as well. However, over the past decade or so, bagpipers are also emerging as a common feature in regular and private funerals.

The kind of music played by bagpipers in funerals helps to give the departed a send-off that is full of emotions. After all, your loved ones deserve the best parting possible. With the music from the bagpipe of Forrest Cormany, you can rest assured that your loved ones would be thanking your from their graves for the warm and emotional send-off.

The Bagpipes Arrive in America

Bagpipes probably first came to America in the 1600’s when the Scots came seeking a new life or as indentured servants. One hundred years later, Scottish regiments came with the British to fight in the American War of Independence. By the time of America’s Civil War, Scottish and Irish immigrants were drafted into military service. The traditions of their homeland were not forgotten and that included the playing of bagpipes for their fallen.

The Black Watch-President Kennedy’s Funeral Procession

The Bagpipes Accompany Us to War

World War I took American troops in mass (over one million) for the first time in Europe. These troops witnessed for the first time, pipers of the British forces “going over the top” of the trenches leading the men into battle.

World War II again saw the pipers leading the troops off of the landing crafts and onto the beaches of Normandy on D-day. President Kennedy invited the pipes and drums of the Regimental Black Watch to perform on the White House lawn for him and his family. Just days later First Lady Jackie Kennedy requested the band to take part in President Kennedy’s funeral procession.
