The service

Working with your family and your director

We provide a horse-drawn hearse independently or directly through your funeral director. If you have already engaged a funeral director, simply let them know you would like to use DK Carriage Horses and we will take care of the rest.

We offer black or white horses, depending on your family's wishes. Every detail of the turnout is agreed in advance. We arrive early, we leave nothing to chance, and we bring absolute respect to every job we take.

When you are making arrangements at a very difficult time, the last thing you need is to manage logistics. We handle our part quietly and completely.

Call us any time

We answer at any hour when the need is urgent. If you are already working with a funeral director, simply give them our number and we will take it from there.

Choice of horses

Black horses for traditional funerals. White or grey for those who preferred a different tradition. We discuss this with your family as early as you need.

Working with your director

We are experienced working alongside funeral directors across Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire. Call us or ask your director to contact us directly.

Coverage

We cover Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Rutland as standard. Please enquire for other counties.

“We were so privileged to have the horse-drawn carriage for Dad's send-off. The turnout was immaculate, the horses stunning and their professionalism was second to none. I cannot thank you enough for making a difficult day as special as we could.”

“A very professional, smart and friendly business to work with. Danny and Sarah provide a wonderful turnout every time we have used the horses and carriages.”
