The Horse-Drawn Funeral Procession

One day, we were in the Hague and saw a funeral procession.  According to the locals, the deceased person must have been wealthy because a funeral of this type is expensive.

 All of the horses were solid black.  They were covered with blankets.
 The carriage on the right is for the casket. 
The carriage on the left is for the family.
 The horses were all very tall--16 hands or more and black.  Beautiful animals.
 The horse handlers and the carriage drivers.
 Checking the last minute details.  Look at the shiny hooves on the horses.
