🎩Why We Wear the Traditional Hat and Suit🎩
At A V Band, tradition and respect are at the heart of everything we do. You may notice that our team always wears a formal black suit and traditional funeral director’s hat when conducting services — and there’s a special reason for that.
This attire isn’t just a uniform; it’s a symbol of dignity, professionalism, and honour for the person whose life we are commemorating. The hat, in particular, carries deep meaning — traditionally worn as a sign of respect and humility, often removed or bowed during key moments of the procession.
By upholding this long-standing tradition, we aim to provide families with a sense of ceremony, care, and continuity, ensuring every farewell is conducted with the reverence it deserves.
Tradition may evolve, but respect never goes out of style. 🕊️
