We provide all that is required for the funeral of a loved one: an excellent choice from our wide selection of coffins; a suitable hearse pulled by four splendid black horses wearing ostrich feather plumes on their heads; the wide silk hat bands, silk scarves and black gloves so necessary for all those attending; even the epitaph can be arranged.

We can offer an all encompassing price of ten guineas. Do you have a date in mind yet?

Well, he set fire to the sitting room again this morning, so I think the date is getting closer and closer...

I mean, I am sure it will not be for many years yet. No.

We do charge extra if we are expected to provide the deceased as well as the funeral. Alternatively, if you would care to select the coffin we could have it delivered in advance.
