Make your loved one’s last journey one that will be forever remembered and cherished by family and friends; a special farewell for a special person.

While some families choose to use a horse-drawn hearse to simply transport their loved one through the cemetery to the gravesite, we can also arrange for a funeral coach to take your dearly departed either:

  • From the funeral home or church to the cemetery.
  • From the gates of the cemetery to the gravesite.
  • Past a certain address, such as a home, a school or a business.


All standard hearse routes are limited to 1-3 miles with a maximum of 5 miles. Check for possibilities, limitations and pricing for longer routes.

Traveling with the horse and hearse will take 15 minutes per mile.

Please be sure to inform your funeral home that you will be using our services.

With all of our horse-drawn carriage packages, you can expect friendly and professional service from a coachman dressed formally in tuxedo attire and a top hat. The hearse can be decorated with accent plumes in a limited choice of colors (shown above). Standard horse and hearse colors are Black or White.
