Veterans Often Have a Bag Piper For a Funeral
Having a Bag piper for a funeral is common especially in Burbank and Glendale. The Forest Lawn cemeteries are top notch at respecting our fallen. Bagpipe Player Harry Farrar has been performing at Forest Lawns for 40 years. Every year he is joined by other pipers for Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day ceremonies generously hosted by the properties and coordinated by Tom Smith, Special Events Director for the parks.
A Bagpiper for a funeral can also be at a Church as well and there are many to choose from. Harry performs for services at his home Church St. Mels Catholic Church– Woodland Hills.
Sometimes it is a tradition for the family and friends to meet after a service at a pub or restaurant. Several times families have selected a very nice local pub in Woodland Hills called the White Harte Pub on Ventura Blvd. Harry on occasion drops by for a drink and a tune since it is near the Headquarters of Scottish Pipes and Drums.
