Whilst still in keeping with the Victorian traditions of horse drawn funerals I use a modern elegant hearse that has been built specifically to compliment my black Shire horses. These kind natured and regal looking horses would add dignity and that extra touch of distinction to any funeral cortege.
My service can be provided with as little as 24hrs notice subject to prior engagements.
Whilst being ideally sited to cover the West Midlands, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Shropshire and Staffordshire, I am prepared to cover any other areas.
I take a lot of pride in my horses and my turnout is conducted to a professional and very high standard.
The horses can be dressed in traditional black plumes, or plaited in the traditional Shire manner (Purple and black) or both.
Every funeral is unique in its own way and my funeral service has been developed to work hand in hand with you and your chosen Funeral Director.
Farewells reflecting the life of the departed.
As well as the traditional style horse drawn hearse, I am also able to offer a 'flat bed trolley' in keeping with that which would have been used in rural / farming communities in the Victorian times and into the early 1900's. This vehicle will be pulled by two shire horses in tandem. As this vehicle is driven from the floor the procession will therefore be conducted at a walk.
