It was an absolute honour to undertake the funeral arrangements for the late Dave Cornell of Poppyland Spirits.
With the kind permission of Dave’s wife, Mandy, we are proud to share how we honoured a truly well respected, loving, kind, humorous and supportive man who will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
In true Dave style, and reflecting his love of motorbikes, he made his final journey in a Harley-Davidson hearse from Motorcycle Funerals Ltd. Andy was honoured to ride the hearse, while Mandy travelled as pillion — a deeply personal and touching tribute. Leading the way was Jerry, also riding a Harley-Davidson, guiding Dave on his final journey.
Dave’s personality shone through in every detail. A pair of his favourite Converse trainers rested proudly on top of his coffin, and in tribute to his beloved QPR Football Club, blue and white ribbons adorned the handles.
A truly fitting farewell for a remarkable man. Ride free, Dave.
