Originally used in the 17th Century, the word ‘cortege’ comes from the French language.
Today, the traditional funeral cortège (which can be referred to as the funeral procession) is still seen at a lot of funerals. As with other areas, this section of the funeral is becoming more unique, as families like to choose the route the funeral cortège takes.
The cortège can pass a significant location or somewhere with sentimental value to the deceased. The Moar & Butler team will be happy to tailor the journey to make that happen.
While our fleet of traditional style, yet state-of-the-art funeral hearses are still used on most occasions, some families now like to choose arrange funeral processions which reflect the individual life of the deceased by including other vehicles. These can range from tractors to fire engines, motorbikes and even pink Cadillacs.
