People of all denominations and backgrounds have bagpipe music at their funeral or memorial. Perhaps the best way to incorporate bagpipe music is to have a piece played at some point during the course of the service.

The most requested tune is "Amazing Grace", which is best used as a stand alone piece. Other options include reverent music during a prelude or processional, or recessional such as:

•  Danny Boy
• Going Home
• Morag of Dunvegan
• Flowers of the Forest
• Dark Island
• Four Green Fields
• Military Tunes

Grave side services are greatly enhanced by the sound of a lone piper; the space outdoors usually allows for the piper to stand at a respectful distance.
