The early days saw our horse-drawn carriages used for many different duties including house removals, the haulage of coal and passenger transport, but it was the magnificent sight of the Belgian Black horses pulling the hearses and mourner's carriages that the business was best known for.

We could not have asked for anything more personal, respectful and professional. Unfortunately I have had to arrange funerals for both of my parents over the past couple of months, and Tranter's have provided an outstanding service on both occasions, making a very challenging and distressing time as good as we could have hoped.
