We were very proud and honoured to see one of our special Expression Coffin designs on the televised funeral of local hero and police officer Senior Constable Brett Forte recently.
Senior Constable Forte was posthumously presented with policing’s highest honour – the Valour Award – for removing his colleagues out of harm’s way after he had been fatally shot.
The moving public service was attended by thousands of mourners who turned out to pay their respects to the officer and his family. The video eulogy depicted images of Mr Forte at the beach and his coffin was fittingly covered in a full-length picture of a surfer riding a perfect wave.
