⚘️ Why Funeral Directors Walk in Front of the Hearse ⚘️

At RH Turner & Son Funeral Directors, we’re often asked why the funeral director walks in front of the hearse. Known as paging, it’s a long-standing tradition that holds deep meaning.

Walking in front of the hearse is a mark of respect — a symbolic way of leading your loved one on their final journey. It dates back to the days of horse-drawn carriages, when the undertaker would guide the horses and set the pace for the procession.

Today, we continue this gesture as a sign of dignity, care, and honour for the person who has passed. Even though it’s only for a short distance, it represents our commitment to ensuring every farewell is carried out with grace and respect.

🕊️ Small traditions, big meaning.
