About our funeral transport service
Our vehicles are presented to the highest standard and are carefully maintained by our team. We aim to ensure that every journey is conducted with respect, discretion and attention to detail.
Below you can find information about the vehicles we provide and how they are used during the funeral process.
Vehicle standards
All of our vehicles are kept in pristine condition by our staff, who have undergone professional valeting training.
We believe that careful presentation and attention to detail reflect the respect we show to every family we serve.
Our funeral fleet
Hearse
Our funeral fleet includes a black Mercedes E-Class hybrid hearse.
The hearse provides a traditional and respectful vehicle for the final journey on the day of the funeral, whether the service takes place at a church, crematorium or burial ground.
Limousine
We also provide a black Mercedes E-Class limousine, which can seat up to seven people.
The limousine provides privacy and comfort for family members travelling together.
First call vehicle
Our first call vehicle is a black Volkswagen Passat.
This vehicle is used to transfer the deceased into our care from the place of death and to our Chapel of Rest. All transfers are carried out with discretion and professionalism.
Make their last journey meaningful
For some families, the final journey is an important opportunity to reflect the life, places and memories that mattered most to their loved one.
Where appropriate, we can help arrange routes that pass through meaningful locations such as favourite beauty spots, family homes, workplaces or familiar local landmarks.
Our experienced team will always do their best to accommodate personal requests and ensure every journey is handled with care, dignity and respect.
