The Top Hat

Symbolic Significance
Respect and Dignity: The top hat conveys a sense of formality and deep respect for the deceased and their family.
Solemnity: It sets a serious and reverent tone for the funeral, reflecting the gravity of the occasion.
Honouring Tradition: Wearing a top hat is a nod to historical traditions, particularly from the Victorian era, which was a period of formal fashion and the development of the funeral industry.

Practical Significance
Identification: The top hat helps mourners easily identify the funeral director and their professional role during the service.
Setting the Atmosphere:
The traditional attire helps establish the formal and orderly atmosphere suitable for a funeral ceremony.

Cultural Context
Victorian Origins: The tradition is rooted in the Victorian era, when the top hat was a staple of gentlemen's formal wear and was adopted by funeral directors to signify professionalism and respect.
Enduring Symbol:
Although some funeral practices have evolved, the top hat remains a recognized symbol of the funeral director's commitment to providing a dignified and respectful service.

Today is national Dog day - dogs significantly help with bereavement by offering unconditional love, reducing loneliness, and encouraging a routine that promotes physical and mental well-being. They are non-judgmental and an outlet for emotions, lower stress through physical interaction, and provide a social catalyst for meeting other people. They also provide comfort and support at funerals and other grief-related settings.

Celebrate your dog, please feel free to post your dogs pictures in the comments.

It has been a real privilege caring for Dennis 'Tink' Bell - in 1959 Dennis was working in the Antarctic as a Meteorologist, studying weather patterns as part of the Falkland Island Dependencies Survey (FIDS) working on ecology glacier at Admiralty Bay on King George Island. He was out on expedition with a small team and dogs, when tragically he fell in a crevasse, colleagues called, 'Tink' answered. They threw a rope down to him at around 100 feet. 'Tink' tied this on to his belt, then men and dogs pulled him up, unfortunately as he reached the lip of the crevasse he got caught and his belt snapped and he fell back down. His colleagues called him but there was no response, the weather closed in and they were unable to recover him. In January this year, due to Global warming and the melting of the ecology glacier a Polish expeditionary team discovered human remains and personal effects. The remains were taken to the Falkland Islands Coroner, then they were flown back to the UK by the RAF then on the Kings College for DNA testing. This DNA testing confirmed that this was Dennis 'Tink' Bell.

Dennis' sister reached out to us to take Dennis 'Tink' on his final journey. This tragic story has deeply touched the whole team at K Y Green.
