    The faint sound of pipes in the distance is one of the most poignant and appropriate things for a funeral I have ever heard. Far better in that circumstance than for the piper to be right there in the ceremony, IMHO. As Archangel said, that is an excellent picture.

    I agree. The piper playing and walking slowly out of the fog during the early morning memorial service for golfer Payne Stewart after he was killed in a plane crash was the most haunting thing I've ever seen. Does anyone know where I might find a video of the service.
