- I played at this funeral recently and was kindly sent this video. The weather was wet that day but all went smoothly. This tune, "Going Home" is actually from Dvorjak's New World Symphony and is associated with the "Hovis Bread" advert on TV.
I am available to play at weddings and funerals and can be contacted via my website www.expertpiper.co.uk
In Orange County, Calif, the Highland Games are held on the Memorial Day weekend. Memorial Day is meant to remember those who fell in military service to our country. Every year, the closing ceremonies have the massed bands play "Amazing Grace" -- the first time, I felt myself being propelled back when all the bands joined in.
But then one year, a lone piper stepped forward and played "Going Home." I will remember that to my grave.
A beautiful way to say goodbye, r I p ,had the pipes at my dad's funeral,
7 years ago, the moments before the catholic procession began for my fathers funeral, the lights went out due to a severe windstorm. In a moment of quick thinking, the bagpiper played "Going Home" for the entrance as we carried his casket to the front of the church. It was a beautiful, touching moment for the humble WWII veteran.

My grandfather was 14 during ww2, worked in the coal mines. This song played at his funeral too
Greatest Generation!
Classy send off . Nothing is as heartfelt as the pipes at a funeral. 💚 Rest in ☮️
Now the day has ended. Beautiful.
no one should dislike this vlog as they are coming home xx
Very moving and an "auld" Scottish saying "pity the man that canne hear the pipes". My favourites are black bear , Scotland the brave, blue bonnets o'er the border and only at funerals flowers of the forest. A curious uplifting one is the hebridean drinking song a pibroeach I think featured in the excellent film that warms the spirit on a cold December day from Compton mackenzie's film "whisky galore" watch it it's warming like a good dram !!!
Magnificent. What a loving send off. Bravo!
Very well executed, expresses very well the moment of pain and sadness!
Rest in Peace to the faithful departed may god lead you to heaven Amen.
This song and Amazing Grace at my mom's
Nicely done, well played and pipes in pretty good tune, weather considering.
It got me crying
I am from USA and was fascinated to see how the dead are laid to rest in another country.
Hi Barbara. They do vary quite a bit. After that church ceremony we went to the cemetery and buried the deceased there and of course I played again. Quite often it is just at the crematorium and I would play in front of the hearse up to the door. Then stop, and play for the coffin going in. A bit different from my clip from "Murder by Decree" all these years ago!
This was very moving.
They played us out of Falkirk Station to this in 1971. Always makes the hair stand up on my neck. Any of my old mates still going?
Wonderful pipes, but now it is becoming difficult to read the comments as I think of my parents.
R.I.P!
Had a piper at my father's funeral. Skye Boat Song was the tune.

Very nice well played
Tom Johnstone. Dvorjak's New World Symphony made extensive use of 19th century American music, including Negro spirituals. "Going Home" is one such. We only know of it because Dvorjak had captured and preserved it in his symphony. But he did not compose it.
Good piper.
aye
YOU played perfect not to fast or slow a piper indeed.
Thanks for your kind remarks!
RIP
I don’t wish to be a kill joy…..but it is not “Going Home”. It’s Dvorak’s New World Symphony.
A moving piece of music still.
You are right. Dvorak is a genius.
Of course that’s the tune, but the hymn that was written to the tune by a former student of Dvorak is “Going Home”.
"The theme from the Largo was adapted into the spiritual-like song "Goin' Home" (often mistakenly considered a folk song or traditional spiritual) by Dvořák's pupil William Arms Fisher, who wrote the lyrics in 1922" - - Wikipedia.
It's convenient, not wrong, to call it "Going Home". It's your own joy you kill.
Who died?
