Traditional. Elegant. Poignant.

A horse drawn hearse is chosen for many reasons, and it offers a more relaxed and slower-paced way of honouring a life. Allowing everyone to take a step back from this modern, fast-paced way of life for a moment.

Always a truly special and moving experience.

Thank you to Simon from Kilvey Carriage Hire South Wales and your wonderful team for allowing Denise the chance to ride up on the carriage for the journey to church. And for providing a first class, professional service as always 🖤

We were asked if it was possible for a photographer to capture all the special moments of this lady's 'last show'. She was a dancer, performer & costume maker ✨

Hana Rose Photography created the most wonderful collection of images, capturing all those special moments & emotions perfectly from start to finish 📸

The photo's are in a private gallery for the family, but we were kindly given permission to share the images of our team 🖤
