A funeral home is set to release doves at an open day for residents to find out more about their services.

Staff at the Cooperative Funeralcare in Whitta Road, Manor Park, will display a horse-drawn hearse, a Land Rover hearse, and a Buddhist-style hearse to show how flexible their services are.

Vistors will be offered a guided tour and drivers can enjoy a professional car wash to help raise funds for Carers Trust.

There will also be various information stalls, a raffle, and face-painting.

Manager John Cheeseman said: “Funerals are difficult and emotional times for all of us, but we hope by opening our doors we can break down some of the traditional barriers that exist.

The open day takes place from 11am to 3pm on Saturday (July 27).
