Piper Mckay (Martin) really added a very special touch to our Mothers Funeral / Celebration of life.
He was most attentive in assisting us with the tunes and order of play after taking time to get an understanding of her life and journey through it.
All in attendance said what a lovely touch having the pipes being played and how proud our Mother would have been, but myself and my sisters felt this was made even more special with it being Martin who played them for us.
An excellent service was experienced from the initial contact right through to after the day.
Our only regret was that Martin could not join us back at the wake to share in the refreshments, he really was most welcome.
Thank you Martin, you were just brilliant and inspiring.

Hello Martin,
Thank you so much from all the family.
Everyone that attended my Dad's interment was very impressed.
Listening to you play the Bagpipes during the different parts of the service was so very moving.
Dad would have really appreciated it.

Dear Piper Mckay,
Thank you for your superb contribution to making it the farewell that John deserved and had planned much of.
He would be so happy that the sound of bagpipes, that he remembered so vividly from VE Day in Edinburgh, took him into the church he had been so involved in and piped him away.
Your choice of music was spot on.

This is to convey our thanks to Martin - his contribution to Kevin’s funeral was all that I hoped and more.
I know the villagers were glad of the opportunity to say goodbye and what better way than a piper to announce his passing through Salford.
The sound of the pipes and image of Martin in his ceremonial dress also gave us a focus as we followed Kevin - we were happy/sad as we knew Kevin would have loved the occasion.
Again, please convey our thanks to Martin - he “did us proud”.
Kind regards,
Aileen

Please would you extend my heartfelt thanks to Piper Martin Mckay.
He truly made an awful, heartbreaking day very special by playing beautifully at Kevin’s funeral.
The piping during the procession through the village and before, during and after the service was simply wonderful and was a fine tribute to Kevin - he would have loved to hear Martin play.
Family and friends alike thought he made the occasion so memorable and the pieces played were so fitting.
Kind regards,
Helen

Dear Piper Mckay,
Thank you for your kindness, it means such a lot. Thank you so much for playing such a big part in helping to make Dad’s send - off so special, the memories will live with us always. We were all bowled over by your beautiful and masterful playing, and such a wonderful choice of music.

Dear Piper Mckay,
Thank you, so, so much. You truly made yesterday very special for Nan and indeed for all of us.
My mother who asked me to arrange for you to be there, (and was sorry she didn’t really get the opportunity to speak to you..) wanted me to pass on her absolute appreciation for what you did, she was comforted by your attendance, knowing that’s what Nan wished for and is extremely grateful.
And for the wonderful royal like departure from the village.
Everyone commented on how special “you” made it and how moving and emotional it was.
I’m so sorry, I didn’t get there early enough to come and meet you beforehand, but was delayed in church.. and just made it halfway up the hill, when we saw Nan arrive...
We would have absolutely no hesitation in booking you again, (hopefully happier circumstances...) and recommending you.
Very much appreciated.
Thank you for your kind words.
Best wishes & Kind regards

Dear Piper Mckay,
Your whole immaculate image and presence, coupled to your superbly played Pipe music, was very much commented on by everyone during Dave's Wake, and coupled to numerous associated compliments such as "One of the most moving funerals I have ever attended", and "The very special touch of the lone Scottish Piper Mckay and his beautiful wafting music, was the absolute pinnacle of Dave's gorgeous Funeral and Final Farewell.
Many thanks again Martin for your genuine sheer professionalism. You are very special. I hope that we might meet again in the future, but perhaps, in a happier and less sad environment.
Take care my friend,
Best wishes,
David
