I agree absolutely that the family's wishes are paramount, as I thought I had indicated.

I was curious about the Scottish piper because Galicia and Asturias, which neighbor Cantabria, do have their own ancient tradition of pipes as part of their Celtic heritage. I didn't know about Cantabria itself.

Perhaps this was a part of why the family had the piper. Perhaps it was just the human gesture of honor he offered by his service. It is all good.
