Love Always, Kortnei is correct:
"Throughout the sorrowful months following Sept. 11, 2001, we heard the bagpipes play this haunting melody in funeral after funeral for fallen New York firefighters and police officers. "Amazing Grace" has appeared on more than 1,100 albums, performed by secular and religious artists alike. In Amazing Grace: The Story of America's Most Beloved Song, Steve Turner tells us the hymn reflects the spiritual autobiography of an Anglican priest and abolitionist named John Newton. "
They even use it on Star Trek!

Because it is a wonderful funeral song and when played on the bag pipes, nothing sounds more distinguished!!
