Wedding dress and glass coffin: a luxurious funeral of a gypsy in London (5 photos + 1 video)

An unusual funeral procession took place in London: a transparent coffin with a gypsy woman in a wedding dress was carried through the city to the sounds of an orchestra. Pauline Devlin, 50, who did not speak and had never married, was given a funeral “fit for a queen”. She was escorted to the cemetery in a carriage, accompanied by a Rolls-Royce and six white horses.





Devlin was carried out on her final journey through the streets of north London last Saturday. Friends and family dressed in white.

“Everyone loved Pauline,” said one relative. “It was a send-off fit for a queen. Not just a farewell, but a big party in her honor, which she never got to see.”



The woman died of pneumonia.

The coffin was custom-made and placed in another box before being lowered into the ground because it was so fragile. The grave was decorated with hundreds of white roses.





Pauline's family shared: "She was a real gift in our lives, we loved her unconditionally. Pauline was born non-verbal, so our parents always tried to give her as much attention as possible. Every day at least two of us spent time with her. And it was real happiness: we took long walks and had picnics. She loved music, in her youth she even danced, clapped her hands and smiled."



"Our father and mother, sisters and brothers loved Pauline very much and took great care of her. There were 12 of us, each with responsibilities, but we were happy to help her. We all truly loved and adored her. She will remain in our hearts, family, friends and everyone who had the opportunity to communicate with her will miss her very much."
