Today we wore blue ties. A request made by the family 🔵👔
We've worn many different colour ties over the years, a simple yet meaningful gesture in memory of the person that has passed away.
Sometimes it's because the deceased supported a certain football team or sometimes its simply because it was their favourite colour.

We will aways try to accommodate our families requests 😁🙏

Stephen Harrop is one of our casual bearers, he's helped us with many many funerals over the years.

Some of you local football fans may have known his Dad... the late Bobby Harrop. Bobby Harrop played for Manchester United and Margate, he also refereed football locally.

Steve mentioned a week or so ago that he had one regret... that regret was not buying the famous blue and white 3rd shirt which United wore across 3 seasons 94/95, 95/96 & 96/97 to celebrate the success of uniteds past achievements. The shirt has his family name printed on to it in memory of his dad, as seen in the photo.
Josh then bought the shirt and surprised Stephen with it today.

Enjoy the shirt steve 🔴⚫⚪⚽️

Why do Funeral Directors wear top hats?

Funeral directors wear top hats as a symbol of respect, tradition, and to maintain a sense of order during funeral services. The top hat, a Victorian-era fashion, conveys dignity and reverence for the deceased and their family. It also serves as a visual cue, identifying the funeral director and their role in leading the procession and maintaining order.

Why do Funeral Directors sometimes use horses instead of a motorized hearse?

Funeral directors sometimes use horses for funerals to add a traditional, elegant, and serene touch to the service. Horse-drawn hearses evoke a sense of history and offer a slower, more contemplative pace than motorized vehicles, allowing for reflection and a more personal farewell. Some families also choose horses because the deceased or their family members had a fondness for horses.

We use Sonny Hillier Horse Drawn Carriages when families want the horses. Only the best 👌 🐴 🐴

'He is gone'

Is a popular choice when it comes to families choosing a poem for their loved ones funeral service. The wording can also be changed to 'she is gone'.

This poem brings your attention to the fact that everyone has their own legacy and leaves their legacy with us when passing. It also highlights that we all have a choice, whether to focus on the past or live in the present.
