Five Points Carriage Service

The Five Points Carriage Service is a horse and carriage business founded in 1990 by Ray McKinney and located on Heather Lane in Hoover. It is equipped with three streetworthy vis-à-vis carriages and staffed by several draft horses. The business handles about 75-80 weddings each year, as well as birthday parties, funerals and seasonal events and parades around Birmingham and neighboring states.

McKinney built a special caisson to carry Fred Shuttlesworth's casket to Oak Hill Cemetery in 2011.
