HORSE DRAWN HEARSE Funeral SERVICE

Our Horse Drawn Hearse

Traditionally styled Horse Drawn Hearse is constructed from the finest Oak, Ash and Iron, its has the most exquisite finishing seen on a horse drawn hearse in many years.

In providing our Hearse we’ve spared no expense in acquiring what we believe to be one of Europe finest examples, it is hand crafted with unsurpassed artistic iron and woodwork. The Hearse is also surrounded by authentic etched glass, traditional carriage lanterns and flowers rails. Flowers can also be carried on the roof.

The magnificent Horse Drawn Hearse is the finest to grace any last farewells.

The Horses

The Beautiful show winning Black Friesians also known as “Belgium Blacks” have elegance, noble bearing and peaceful nature. They are trained to stand quietly and are extremely reliable in traffic; they have the ideal temperament for the occasion.

The horses are turned out to a faultless standard in English leather harness with brass fittings and traditional collars. They wear black or white ostrich feather plumes and can be turned out with or without drapes.

The detail and presentation is of the highest quality and is regarded as finest ‘turnout’ in the country.

A team of two or four black horses or a pair of white horse are available by arrangement.

Although the horses are very fit and are regularly checked by our vet to ensure they are healthy, in the interests of their welfare, we would not expect a normal funeral cortege to exceed a distance of approximately 8 miles with a duration of up to 2.5 hours.

Available to Hire

Quotations are available upon request and all prices are very reasonable.

I recently entrusted the care of my mother’s funeral to Bay Tree Funeral Directors, and the experience exceeded all my expectations. Organizing a funeral is never an easy task, but their unparalleled professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail made the process as smooth as one could hope for. A special shout-out to Sam, who left no stone unturned in ensuring everything was planned to perfection. Sam’s dedication and eye for detail not only provided a dignified farewell for our mother but also offered some comfort to our family during this difficult time. From the initial consultation to the final farewell, every team member we interacted with was incredibly kind and understanding. If you find yourself in need of funeral services, I highly recommend Bay Tree Funeral Directors. Their exceptional service made a challenging time a bit easier to navigate.

Would highly recommend, after going to a few funeral directors I found Sam from baytree, unlike the others she wasn't trying to rip me off, she was caring to my situation and to my budget, she helped me put from start to finish and she and her team gave my mum a truly amazing send off. Couldn't of asked for more. Thank you Sam from the bottom of my heart.

We chose Baytree for my Grandads funeral. Sam could not have been more helpful, she even spoke to me while he was in hospital (end of life) and talked me through what would happen, nothing was to much trouble. There was no pressure to go overly expensive or pushiness into anything. Really relaxed environment and everything was planned exactly as the family wanted. The service was beautiful, Sam listened to us talking about grandad and the sort of person he was and found the perfect celebrant to conduct the service. He was treated with dignity from start to finish and communication was fab. I would highly recommend and would not hesitate to use Sam at Baytree again. Thank you so much!

Words cannot express how grateful we are as a family for the empathy, care and overall service Sam, her family and colleagues provided to us. At one of the most difficult times Bay Tree helped and assisted us through the process of what needed to be done, for which I will be for ever grateful. I very highly recommend Bay Tree and thank Sam and everyone for the care and consideration provided.

Don’t review much only when awful or exceptional and I have to say Baytree and Sam was exceptional, very welcoming , understanding and friendly , all what you need at such sad and overwhelming time . Sam made everything easy , gave advice when needed and listened to our requirements. Would highly recommend, wasn’t sure what to do , who to go with , just googled , read previous reviews , saw a friendly face and made that call , so glad I did .
