A truly beautiful farewell 💗

Chantelle at A V Band Funeral Directors was honoured to support another family with a bespoke horse-drawn carriage, creating a peaceful and memorable tribute for their loved one.

It’s the small details that make each goodbye personal, and we are proud to offer services that reflect love, respect, and individuality.

Thinking of the family and sending our heartfelt condolences. 🤍

✨ Every Life is Unique – Every Farewell Should Be Too ✨

At A V Band Funeral Directors, we believe a funeral should reflect the person it honours.

Whether your loved one dreamed of a traditional horse-drawn carriage, a motorcycle hearse, or something completely personal, we are here to help create a farewell that truly represents who they were.

From music and transport to personal touches and meaningful details, we will work with you to make their final journey as unique as their life story.

Because saying goodbye should be just as special as the memories they leave behind. 💜

I don't really feel like talking
I lost someone close to me
There are just some things
Your eyes cannot un see

Excuse me if I am quiet
I don't have much to say
I haven't been the same
Not since that painful day

The world is too loud now
My heart cannot cope
It's broken, I'm afraid
And there is no antidote

So for now,
Home is where I'll stay
Attending to my heart
Safe and tucked away

Grief can be a lonely place - we are here to help and share the grief - you may feel alone, but your not

Whether someone is taking their first step into the profession or building on years of experience, apprenticeships offer the chance to learn, develop and make a real difference every day.

“After the Rain”

The rain falls softly on my skin,
not to wound, but to renew,
like every drop is whispering,
I’m still here with you.

Grief moves like a quiet storm,
then drifts into the light,
leaving space for fragile blooms
where once there was only night.

I carry love in every tear,
and memories in each clear stream—
the rain reminds my broken heart
that healing is a living thing.

And when the clouds begin to part,
and sunlight finds its way,
I learn that loss can live beside
the hope of brighter days.
