    There is a symbolism in the manner in which this is done.
    1) a lone piper, we enter this world alone.
    2) the company of pipers- symbolizes the companionship of our brothers and sisters here in this life.
    3) the lone piper walks away- we leave this world begin a new journey alone.

      @@robinpesek3657 not true that's new age guff! Lone piper calls the dead home. Scotland is a clan culture USA that's individualist buy a religion at MacDonald's culture - they didn't die a lone why would they reject each other in death, its sick!

    I will never forget this video. My father who was a third generation firefighter sent me this video 3 weeks ago and told me to never make him go to one of these, as I just got on the same department that he was on recently. He passed away yesterday, at 55. I love you dad, until we meet again ❤️

    I was at this funeral in full dress. Most emotional funeral of a fallen brother I have been to up to that point until we lost one of our own. But to see 13 flag draped coffins in front of you, all that gave the ultimate sacrifice, and their wives and children in front of your face, with as many homicides, suicides, and other DOS I've been apart of, this was by far the worst yet most proud moment of my firefighting career.
