horse-drawn hearse

Equine funeral transport

A horse-drawn hearse is a carriage designed to transport a coffin to burial, pulled by horses rather than motorized.

Once the standard conveyance for funerals, horse-drawn hearses now appear mainly in traditional, military, or ceremonial services: The horse-drawn hearse led the procession through town.
