About this experience

A farewell like James Brown

Several funeral services, a carriage ride through Harlem & an exceptional live soul band – we'll make it possible. Three funeral services were held in honour of James Brown. The “Godfather of Soul” was carried through Harlem in New York in a white horse-drawn carriage and lay in state at the Apollo Theater, where he made his legendary debut in 1956. The final service took place in Brown's home city of Augusta, accompanied by live music from his band, the “Soul Generals”. Nine thousand fans attended alongside major musicians including Michael Jackson. We are happy to organise several funeral services, a final carriage ride through NYC and burials in different places of your choosing, as well as finding a suitable live band for a dignified farewell.
