Bagpipes are often incorporated into funeral services, either at the Chapel or at the gravesite (or both). Piper rod Gillies may herald the start of the service with a call to attend. Pipe the casket into and/or out of the Chapel. Play a lament during the service and at the committal at the graveside.
On this solemn occasion, there is a wide array of both traditional and modern tunes that can be chosen to honour the departed. For a personalised and meaningful selection, it is best to list preferences or discuss directly with Rod Gillies when booking, the accomplished bagpiper, who can offer expert guidance and help curate the perfect repertoire for the funeral service.
Whether you seek comforting melodies or poignant tunes, Rod’s expertise ensures a fitting musical tribute to cherish the memory of your loved one.
Rod Gillies’ booking fees are tailored to several factors, ensuring a bespoke and unforgettable experience. The fees are influenced by the event’s duration, the location of the performance, and the preferred arrangement—whether you desire Rod’s solo performance or a harmonious ensemble alongside a Pipe Organ or other musical instruments. By considering these variables, Rod can offer you a personalised package that caters to your specific needs and guarantees an exquisite musical presentation. See Booking Fee information.
