"One of the occasions that I am most fulfilled playing my bagpipe music is at funeral ceremonies. Music is the universal communicator and it allows for a sense of closure. Many family members and friends of those that have passed have expressed gratitude to me for providing the music that gave them comfort during that time of deep sorrow." - Van
Van is available for graveside, church, home or any other locations for services. He also plays at wakes, memorial services, and services of all religious and spiritual practices.
One of the most requested and meaningful tunes performed by Van is Amazing Grace. He also has a great variety of other music suitable for all religions and ethnic groups to make each memorial service unique. And of course, Van will come professionally dressed in the traditional formal kilt.
