A Graceful Farewell with Horse-Drawn Carriage

At C. Terry Funeral Services, we understand how important it is to create a farewell that truly reflects the life and personality of a loved one. Personal choices, carefully considered, can bring comfort and meaning to what is often a very difficult day.

Recently, we had the honour of conducting a funeral for a much-loved lady, where every detail was chosen with care to reflect her life and the love of her family.

The family selected a personalised pink coffin, beautifully engraved at each end — one side featuring delicate hearts, and the other a touching tribute with two Shih Tzus. These thoughtful details created a deeply personal and fitting representation of someone who was clearly cherished.

For her final journey, the cortege was led by two elegant white horses drawing a traditional white carriage. This graceful and dignified setting provided a calm and memorable tribute, offering a sense of occasion while honouring her life in a gentle and respectful way.

We are grateful to the family for allowing us to be part of such a meaningful farewell, and to the suppliers who helped bring these personal touches together, including Steve Soult Limited for the coffin and Karen Bassett Carriage Driving for the horse-drawn carriage.

At C. Terry Funeral Services, we are always here to support families in creating a service that feels right for them — whether traditional or personalised, every detail is handled with care, dignity, and respect.
