A fireman in my town passed away back in February, and they had a memorial service that was incredibly moving. A bagpiper played "Amazing Grace", "Death of a Chieftain" and a song I didn't recognize. "In the Garden" was sung by all.
After the chaplain's message, the firemen came down the aisle, two by two & carrying a flower. Each pair paused a moment at the casket, saluted, put the flower in the vase, then left. The whole time the 60+ firemen did that, "I Will Remember You" was played, then the bagpiper played one more song as everyone filed out.
On the moving factor, it was a 15 out of 10 !!!
