Follow your heart while you're alive. Put perfume on your head, clothe yourself with fine linen....
Make a holiday and don't tire of it!

Petrol or Horse power?

I was just having a look at The Good Funeral Guide blog and it reminded me of a funeral the other week which used horses.

It really is a sight for sore eyes to see the majestic beasts parading down the high street.  I particularly love the black horses and black hearse.  Then when the family chooses red roses as their coffin spray - woah!   Beautiful Gothic elegance.   Some horses are white and there are white hearses which I believe some consider more lady-like and modern.

There are a few other ways you can be carried to your journeys end, including a motorcycle hearse and here is a link to the website of A W Lymn in Nottingham who have their own double decker bus!

The places I work have their own fleets of black hearse and limousines.    One places sister company has a silver fleet so we are able to offer both from within the company which is nice.   Funeral directors will source whatever you would like and it really is something special when an alternative is chosen.
