Built for difficult days, not just performance days
A funeral piper has to read the room, arrive early, stay calm, and know when to step back. Ryan handles the practical details quietly so the music can do its work.
Funeral-home coordination
Ryan can coordinate directly with the funeral director for arrival, placement, cues, and timing.
Veterans and military honors
Memorial Day, Veterans Day, graveside honors, flag presentations, and pairings with a bugler or honor guard.
How the funeral booking works
Families usually only need to share the date, location, service time, and any music requests. If the tune is not decided yet, that is normal. Ryan can recommend a simple, appropriate plan.
Common funeral moments
The pipes are most often used for a graveside committal, chapel recessional, procession to the hearse, or a single outdoor piece as guests gather.
Music families request most
Amazing Grace is the most common choice. Going Home, Highland Cathedral, Flowers of the Forest, Danny Boy, and The Last Post are also regular funeral and memorial requests.
Short-notice services
Austin funerals often come together quickly. Same-week and near-term requests are welcome when the date is open.
