British TV advert has a piper
I noticed an advert for a funeral arranger on British TV today, towards the end there is a kilted piper.
I was so surprised I forgot to take note of which firm it was.
Possibly the Cooperative.

Probably a local ad. on the Meridian channel, Anne. I doubt it would be put out on the ITV network if it was for a Funeral Director!
Take care,

Piper on Ad
'Twas indeed the Co-operative!
I've been seeing it a lot recently on the various ITV type channels - might be a regional thing as I'm just across the border in Carlisle....

Oh well, there you go! I stand corrected. As yet, I have not seen the ad. but then I seldom look at the commercial channels, being such a huge fan of the BBC!
Actually, come to think of it, I believe most Funeral Directors have access to lone pipers should they be requested for funerals. My own 'farewell ceremony' was arranged and paid for - but not booked - several years ago, and our local Funeral Director had no problems, even down here near Worthing, in including a piper in the arrangements according to my wishes.
Take care,
Ham.

My goodness Ham, delighted to hear that you haven't booked, and I sincerely hope that this particular piper won't be called upon for his services for many many years hence.
Personally, I'm rather looking forward to an invitation to your 100th birthday/300th kilt celebrations!
