Horse Drawn Funeral Services in Bridgwater
When it comes to saying goodbye to a loved one, nothing compares to the timeless elegance of a horse-drawn funeral. Bridgewater Funerals offers dignified and memorable horse drawn funerals in Bridgwater, Somerset. We can either provide you with a pair or a team of four black or white horses. Our horse-drawn carriages are offered with the choice of a black, white or silver hearse.
Why Choose A Horse Drawn Funeral?
We seek to honour our loved ones in the most meaningful ways in times of loss. A horse drawn funeral carriage offers a unique and dignified option that combines tradition, elegance, and a touch of timeless beauty. Some of the many reasons people choose a horse drawn funeral include:
The Elegance of Tradition
Horse drawn carriages have been part of funeral processions for centuries. Choosing this mode of transport pays homage to these age-old traditions, providing a sense of continuity and reverence. Horse drawn carriages hark back to a time when life was simpler, and rituals were deeply respected.
Symbolic Gesture
The slow, measured pace of the horses allows for a more reflective, contemplative procession, giving mourners a chance to honour the deceased profoundly.
Creating a Memorable Farewell
A horse drawn funeral can set the tone for a truly memorable farewell, one that stands out for its grace and solemnity.
Visual Impact
The sight of a majestic horse drawn carriage can be incredibly moving, leaving a lasting impression on all who witness it.
Personalised Touch
Each horse drawn funeral can be tailored to reflect the deceased's personality and preferences, adding a deeply personal touch to the ceremony.
Decorative Options
Floral arrangements, custom drapery, and other decorative elements can be added to the carriage to personalise the procession.
A Sustainable Choice
For environmentally conscious people, a horse drawn carriage is a more sustainable option than motorised hearses.
Honouring Life with Dignity
Our horse-drawn funerals are about honouring the deceased in a manner that reflects dignity and respect.
Solemn Procession
The gentle clip-clop of horse hooves creates a serene and respectful atmosphere.
Our Horses
These classy, beautiful carriages are complemented by either purebred white Lipizzaner horses or black Friesian horses. The horses can be dressed in plumes and drapes of bold colours or traditional black. We customise services to meet your needs.
Equus Carriages
Equus Carriages is the company we use for our horse drawn funerals. Equus Carriages focuses on delivering high-end horse drawn carriage experiences. A driver and groom dressed in traditional livery lead the horses and carriage.
