A remarkable Fire Brigade farewell

W Storey Funeral Service had the privilege of arranging a truly extraordinary funeral for a gentleman who dedicated his life to the Cleveland Fire Brigade. The send-off was nothing short of spectacular, reflecting the deep respect and admiration held by his colleagues and community.

The day featured a 93-minute procession to the crematorium, led by eight fire engines and joined by over 300 serving firefighters. His coffin was carried atop a fire engine, surrounded by guards, with a guard of honour staged at the local fire station, every detail steeped in dignity and tribute.

We’ve captured some powerful moments in photos, but the real highlight is the video tribute, now available to view on our Facebook page. It’s a moving testament to a life of service and the strength of the firefighting brotherhood.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this farewell so memorable. It was a true celebration of courage, commitment, and community.
