Quote For his funeral, a refurbished 1940's milk float was used to take him to St Paul's Church in the town. The milk float is becoming a go-to for the funerals of milkmen and women because of the part it has played in their working lives, but also as a symbol of their service to the local community. https://www.goldencharter.co.uk/news-and-info/2017/unusual-funeral-vehicles/ so looks like this are vintage ones refurbished with more modern cabins -- Last edit: 2024-04-28 15:31:58
