"The accommodating, professional, caring demeanor you displayed helping us add music to the service was incrediby appreciated."
— Rick White, President - Shoreline Firefighters
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. Graveside 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.
Neil has extensive experience playing funerals and memorials of all types including military honors for all branches of the service, fire and police department honor guards. The Marine Corps Hymn, Caissons, Anchors Aweigh, Air Force Song and the Coast Guard's Semper Paratus are all part of Neil's repertoire. Neil has also played at wakes, living wakes, 9/11 services and other tributes.
