Six life-size figures of three couples in wedding dresses and suits are standing on a grass verge outside a house on the High Street in a rural location, a small wooden coffin with RIP written on the lid next to a sign which says 'Alfie' on it.

Behind the scarecrows is a tall 2.5m (8ft) hedge with a straw model of a dog visible in the middle at the top.
