Specialist vehicles

Today there are more specialist funeral vehicles available than any other time in the past. They include: horse-drawn carriages with matching Fresian black horses; vintage vehicles of the early and mid-20th century; motorcycle hearses; and trucks.

The Grand farewell

There is a growing trend for funerals to be marked by a special memorial event, such as having one’s ashes scattered as part of a fireworks display or even sent into space. Those who prefer to dispense with the pyrotechnics many opt for the releasing of white doves.
