It is a final journey everyone eventually takes.  An entrepeneur from North Battleford wants to make the ride as memorable as possible.

Byron Haryung is the owner of The Last Ride--Hooves to Heaven.  A horse drawn hearse is used instead of a motor vehicle for the funeral procession.

Haryung grew up with horses on the family farm near Rabbit Lake.  He knows what a big part they played in many people's lives, especially the pioneers.  "It's not just farmers, it's the ranchers, the native community, rodeo community and auctioneers," says Haryung. 

The 13 foot . . . 1100 pound hearse is pulled by two quarter horses.  The horses have been trained so they are familiar with larger crowds. 

Haryung has contacted funeral homes in Saskatchewan and Alberta . . . letting them know about his services.
