Our experienced directors guide families through every decision while maintaining dignified proceedings.
Horse Drawn Funerals
Our horse-drawn funeral services feature elegant hearses pulled by trained dappled grey or bay horses. Available with traditional carriages or Victorian-style options, these processions offer dignified transportation while creating memorable tributes through carefully orchestrated ceremonies that respect both tradition and modern sensitivities.

This is the third time that Terry's have taken care of the last days of our parents lives leading to their funeral and final resting place. Excellent services, from start to finish. Very respectful, honest, helpful and caring. Service was excellent, nothing was too much trouble for them, happy to help us through this difficult time. Added to the covid 19 restrictions, they were very helpful with all the regulations, lead us throughout that process. Explained clearly what was permitted and what wasn't. Our heart felt thanks go to George, the lead on all matters, along with the other that work there

I would like to thank all the staff at c.terrys for their professionalism and care for my father Mr Neville Vickers.
Chris could not divulge any information about dates or times for my dads funeral and I totally understand that he couldn't. Family issues have stopped me and my older brother from attending the final day of my dads time on earth and it hurts so much. My younger brother as stopped all persons attending my dads funeral and it's wrong, they are doing this for financial gain and its sick. Anyway thank you Chris, Kathleen and everyone else for your professional conduct. All the best

Excellent company, all staff were very kind, caring, supportive and nothing was a problem. They helped make a sad and difficult time easier to manage. The funeral itself went without any issues and the time leading up to the day any queries we had were answered a.s.a.p. We did have an issue with the plot but this was nothing to do with Terry's and they helped us to sort this out. Thank you to all, would recommend.
