Funeral – Weds 25 Feb
Posted in Church, People on Tuesday February 24, 2026| Leave a Comment »
As part of a private funeral at St Peter’s Church, Parwich tomorrow, there will be a horse-drawn hearse travelling from Upper Moor to the Church, arriving for 11am. The family would be extremely grateful if the area in front of the church and green could be kept clear for this.
Attendees will begin arriving from 10am and the village is likely to be busy. Some members of the equine community will also be bringing their horses as a mark of respect, standing by the village green. Following the service a bugle call will be made.
If people would like to go and see the horses and witness the bugle call they would be most welcome.
The village should then be cleared by 12.15.
The family send their grateful thanks in advance.
