What comes to your mind when you hear the mention of Kennesaw? Does the Kennesaw Civil War battle come to mind at all? I was called to play bagpipes at the Kennesaw Memorial Park cemetery, pictured below, to help a family celebrate their celtic heritage at the graveside service of a loved one.
I went out to the tent, which was near the office, and tuned my pipes. When the hearse and family arrived, I played a hymn medley, and at the end I played "Amazing Grace". The family was very happy, and it went great.
Here is a view of the lake from that tent:
Anyway, this is one of my favorite cemeteries because of the nice people that work there, and there are always cookies (often WARM cookies!) in the foyer, shown in the picture below. You might have to click "Read more.." below to see!
After helping the family celebrate their celtic heritage, my thoughts turned to the Civil War history of this area, and I drove over 1.3 miles to Cheatham Hill Memorial Park, but that story is more focused on the

Here are a couple of nice Kirkin o’ the Tartan videos on You Tube:

The first is from Christ Church Episcopal in Greenville.

A nice clip showing the procession. I like the way the person doing the filming caught the banners from the front. A lot of the videos are from the back of the sanctuary, which make it a little harder the really see them.

The second one is from Peace Memorial Presbyterian in Clearwater.

This is a somewhat longer clip, and this one hits you with ads before you get to the actual video, but it features some very nice music from the Tampa Bay Pipers and Drums. A little bit more time spent showing off the church than the first video, but it still captures the feel of the service pretty well, I thought.

While there are many legends about the Kirkin o’ the Tartan in Scotland, the first verifiable mention of it is in a sermon the Rev. Peter Marshall gave in 1941 as a fundraiser for a mobile kitchen at the start of World War II.
