Most funerals still use the conventional black hearse, although many families are starting to add a personal touch to the cortege to make the funeral truly one of a kind.

One way which the cortege is being made personal is deciding the journey in which the procession will go, often going past the deceased’s home and favourite places.

Another way that families are making the procession more personal to them is by including different modes of transport in the procession, including the use of tractors, bicycles, and motorbikes.
