In 1990 Joe and Barb Tetz started restoring carriages. That same year they purchased their first two Friesian horses, flown in all the way from Holland.
In 1995, while installing a new driveway in the nearby City of Bethlehem, construction workers unearthed the skeletal remains of 2 bodies. It was determined, by the buttons on their jackets, that they were the remains of Revolutionary War Soldiers. Joe and Barb were delighted and honored when asked to participate in the reburial of these men. It turned out to be quite an affair. Local dignitaries as well as the Pentagon Color Guard were there to take part in the ceremony. The streets were lined with hundreds of spectators. That was the beginning of Joe and Barbs Horse Drawn Funeral Service. From there Joe and Barb went on to design and build Custom Hearses. Some of the finest to be found anywhere.
