The Americans know how to give a fond farewell . Total admiration

And to answer anyone's question, why bagpipes are played at police and firefighter funerals is because it's teadition. most firefighters and police officers at the time when they all were first found where Irish and Scottish and so on because nobody else would do it due to the dangers. it's carried over through tradition.

I retired from the fire dept 8 years ago after a 27 year career. I loved everything about the job-the sense of duty, the excitement, the adrenaline rush, the fire trucks, and most of all, my brother firefighters. My nephew is currently serving in the same fire dept, and working with many of the guys I served with. The LAFD did a fine job respecting the service of their lost comrade.

being a firefighter/emt and being 21 years old and seeing this brings me to tears. I've been to 3 firefighter funerals and police and so forth so i feel for the family it's very hard to say good by to people you love and your friends that you work with on the force.

I'm a firefighter in Victoria, Australia, and this bought me tears. RIP and God Bless your family. Respect.

I know the bagpipes aren't everyone's cup of tea, but they sound beautiful on these sad occasions. RIP to all the brave fireman/fireman, who answered their last call.

I am the wife of a CT firefighter and sometimes attending a firefighter funeral or just watching one reminds me of just how fragile life can be... I would be lying if I said I didn't worry about this happening to my own husband but I cannot dwell on it or it would drive me crazy... No...I knew what I was getting into when I married him...this is who he is... He has been a firefighter 30+ years...and the truth is I am very proud of him... I just pray that something like this never becomes my reality...

RIP from Northern Ireland.

It is so sad to see fireman funeral or Police department but remember these men are our heroes they live on forever they just amazing people if you see one thank them for their service I'm sure they would appreciate it there's nothing like a traditional bagpipe band playing for them and marching it puts chills through your body you want to just remember it for the rest of your life and take pictures it's not that easy playing the bagpipe I have three of them and it took me two to three years to play some of these songs you always practice I give them five star for making this video ⭐❤️💯🇺🇸🇨🇮🍀

I'm from New York City. Fireman will always be my "hero."

A fine tribute to a BRAVE man R.I.P

Rest in peace from german Colleague

Hi Im not firefighter since 2008 but I pray for you . Firefighter in over the world pray on your family and respect for you. Goodbyemy lover Goodbye my friend .....

Our local Police and Fire Dept's have lost more members on duty in the last 15 years (20 total) Than all other dept's combined ( ie: water and power, sanitation, building and safety, etc. etc.) Also not told is how firefighters die more often, and younger, of job related cancers associated with exposure to toxins. This man died having more than 30 years of service to his department, working to save lives and property, only days away from his retirement, and only 1 day before the birth of his first grandchild. Nothing in bad taste or over the top about honoring a hero who gave his life in the line of duty. I was there, his family and those of us in attendance don't share your opinions. It is a hallowed tradition to honor fallen firemen, cops, and military members who die in the line of duty this way. You may have your traditions, we have ours. RIP Glenn

r.i.p.

What is the bagpipe song they're playing? I think I heard it during Commissioner Loeb's funeral in "The Dark Knight"...

Respect. Kind regards from Denmark.
