I found this article on the Independent newspaper website and thought it might be a good subject to share with you all.

When the time comes for you to take your 'final ride' have you any thoughts on what or how you want to travel to your funeral service?

Some options we see frequently, the hearse is obviously the main option used, some families still have horse and carriage (or trap), and the motorcycle side-car hearse is also very popular.   

Some Funeral Directors have their own vintage hearse style vehicles to add something a little different and I have seen pictures of camper vans, land-rovers, tractor and trailer etc.   Not everything is straightforward of course, health and safety issues do have to be considered! So some funeral processions will only be from a few streets away from the Crematorium or burial site so as to allow for the practicalities involved. 

For me, personally, I want a Volvo F12 (that's a truck) and I want a plinth on the 5th wheel so that I can be strapped down (in a coffin obviously). That is how I want to take all of my final ride, albeit it with the cab reversing in at the Crematorium, so as not to take to roof off of the cloisters!

How would you like to travel?  What different options have you seen that you have either thought were fantastic or awful?

Each service should be as unique as the person who we are there to remember, so have a think about how you want your funeral to be and then write your wishes down so that your family know what to do for you when your time comes. 

Lots of things to think of there, so if you have any questions or comments, please do drop me an email amandajaneceremonies@outlook.com or check out my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/amandajaneceremonies/ and leave me a comment there.
