When we lose
a loved one, it's a comfort to mark this final ceremony with grace and dignity.
Much of the funeral ritual centers on this need. The quiet, subdued environment
of he funeral home, the muted tones of the clothing we wear, the soft music.
Like the final strains of a much loved overture, we softly say our good
byes
Let us help.
The Honour Guard serves at Funeral
and Memorial Services for members and friends of the St. Andrew's Society
of Detroit and others who wish a kilted presence at the ceremonies.
At the funeral home, we can post a Guard member at the head and foot of
the casket as your family and friends pay their final respects. At the service,
the Honour Guard can accompany the casket in slow cadence to the front of
the church and stand at attention to the side until the time comes to lead
the way out. Later, the plaintive sound of a lone piper playing "Amazing
Grace" filters across the manicure lawn of the memorial garden.
