Why Do Funeral Directors Wear Top Hats?

At Nigel K Ford Funeral Directors, we honour long-standing traditions that reflect dignity, respect, and professionalism. The top hat, a symbol rooted in Victorian heritage, is worn to guide mourners and pay tribute to the deceased with grace and reverence.

It’s more than just attire — it’s a mark of care and solemnity during one of life’s most meaningful moments.

🚗🎩 Funeral Cortege Etiquette – Honouring the Final Journey

At Nigel K Ford Funeral Directors, we believe every farewell deserves dignity and respect. The funeral cortege is a meaningful part of the service, and observing simple etiquette helps support grieving families and preserve the solemnity of the occasion.

Here are a few thoughtful ways to show respect: 🛑 Pause or stand quietly as the cortege passes.
🚗 Give way to the procession when safe to do so.
🎩 Our funeral directors may walk ahead of the hearse — a tradition known as paging, symbolising reverence and leadership.

These small gestures make a big difference to those saying goodbye

What is a Celebrant's Role in the Funeral Industry?
A celebrant is a professional who leads funeral or memorial services, often focusing on creating a personalised and meaningful ceremony that reflects the life, values, and beliefs of the deceased — regardless of religious affiliation.
They work closely with families to craft a service that honors the individual, often including stories, tributes, music, and readings.

Non-religious or semi-religious ceremonies: Celebrants are commonly chosen when families prefer a secular or blended approach, rather than a traditional religious service.

They help families navigate the structure of the ceremony, offering suggestions and emotional support during a difficult time.
Professional delivery: Celebrants are trained in public speaking and ceremony planning, ensuring the service runs smoothly and respectfully.
