I've been wondering about traditional Scottish funeral customs, such as draping a coffin with tartan, burying someone wearing a kilt or arisaidh, throwing a handful of dirt onto the lowered casket, etc. Does anyone here have any knowledge about what's usually done?

When I play the 'pipes for a funeral, I usually strike in when the hearse arrives at the cemetary, then play hymns until the family has gathered under the tent. Most of the time, they want "Amazing Grace" somewhere toward the end of the committal, after any military honors. I hate having to play at the church/funeral home, because to me, the 'pipes sound better outside. Most folks (whom I've played for) prefer some music at the cemetary, too.

What other traditions/customs are there regarding a Scottish send-off?
