Fashioned with love, from his own garden, a beautiful tribute, along with his love for hiking, this gents celebration of life is so personal. The heather, attached to the Hearse grill is a nod to him, as he always did this to his own car.
A privilege to create the funeral the family wanted. ❤️

Funeral fact!

Graveyards in victorian England were hotspots for criminal activity. Graverobbing being a lucrative income because of items deceased were buried with, from jewellery to heurlooms, as well as their bodies being sold on the black market to doctors to further their expertise and exhibit their skills!

The more elite of society had their own stringent plans such as 'mortsafes' (cages we still see over graves today).

Graveyard Bells were also commonplace, with a piece of string lowered in the coffin, attached to a bell on the surface, as a secondary plan for any premature burial, (a practice I can assure you does NOT happen today)!

Night watchmen were introduced in graveyards to ward off such behaviour of "body snatchers" and also listen for any bells that may ti**le! We believe this is where the term 'dead ringer' was coined.

Funeral fact!
Victorian mourners hired 'mutes', or professional mourners for their funeral services, as part of their rites, to stand outside the home or at the graveside, often consuming alcohol, and their presence was meant to show the importance of the deceased.

The mutes often ended up tipsy!

Funeral fact!
Wearing black whilst in mourning, is a symbol of grief and respect.
Black is widely recognized as a color of mourning, signifying sadness and loss. Wearing black to a funeral allows individuals to publicly express their grief and show respect for the deceased and their family.

Today, people opt for more colourful or casual affairs, often football colours of the team supported, or the favourite colour of the deceased. Funerals are much more personal today. ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💛

This beautiful floral tribute, a guitar fashioned from fresh flowers, to symbolise this young mans love of music. His graffiti art, some maybe familiar with.

We laid this young gentleman with so much musical and artistic talent to rest in the calm Rowan chapel of Stockport Crematorium. Gone far too soon. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

Funeral fact!
In the victorian era, family would draw the curtains and stop the clocks at the time of death to mark the exact moment the deceased had expired. They would use crepe or veiling to cover mirrors too, as superstitious people, they didnt want the soul of their loved one 'getting trapped' in the glass.
