Description

This is a horse drawn hearse drawn by a pair of black horses.

It is worth understanding what it does to a funeral. A horse drawn cortege travels slowly, so the journey becomes part of the service rather than something to get through. People stop in the street. It is a public, unhurried and very old way of doing this, and for many families that is exactly the point.

Two black horses is the standard pairing and it is the more modest of the two options we offer.

Horse drawn funerals need more notice than motor vehicles and the route matters, so please raise it with us as early as you can. Availability, timings and costs vary, so please talk to us early if this is what you have in mind and we will tell you honestly what can be arranged.
