The romance doesn't end there: to complete the occasion bride and groom will be carried onwards in their memorable and magical journey to the reception. Our wedding carriages and coaches can have their hoods open or closed so you can add your own personality, arriving in a demure yet grand way.

By choosing a Drewitts horse-drawn funeral you can be reassured of a professional, accomplished and polished experience filled with all the compassion you need in this difficult time. You can have our stunning black or white horses (in pairs or fours) with your choice of black or white hearse. Our traditional hearses feature beautiful polished wood interiors with plenty of space for your floral tributes and finished off with colour co-ordinated plumes, drapes and fine Victorian cut glass lamps.
