The pallbearer crew
Pallbearers and staff for the day of the funeral: they carry the coffin and help in the hall and at the cemetery.

- Carries the coffin out and along the route of the procession
- Accompanies the procession from the farewell to the cemetery
- Lowers the coffin into the grave and stays until it is closed
- Helps relatives and guests with practical matters
- Carries the wreaths in the procession, one person per wreath
- Works in formal uniform, in step and unobtrusively

Pallbearer crew
Carrying the coffin out, bearing it along the route of the procession and lowering it into the grave take strength and coordination that should not be asked of the family on such a day. Our crew does that work: trained people in formal dress who act together and without drawing attention.
The family decides how many people the crew has: usually four or six, but sometimes ten. For example, if five wreaths are carried in the procession, each wreath has its own bearer. The crew works from carrying the coffin out until the grave is closed.
