An elaborate funeral hearse is pulled up to a house with the back doors open, waiting to be loaded with the casket. There are many men and women bundled up in winter clothes waiting outside the house. Snow is piled in the yard and along the street. The hearse is pulled by two white horses wearing fringed netting.
