Funeral Vehicles

We made the decision in the late 1970's to change the colour of all our funeral fleet vehicles to silver. At the time a brave move away from the tradition of black vehicles but it has been our trademark ever since. We have always tried to be at the forefront of the profession, and the latest addition to our fleet is no exception.

Our Italian designed and built Jaguar hearses are stunning vehicles which set us apart and represents the future in hearse design. With new matching Jaguar mourner vehicles and our professional chauffeurs, we will convey you safely and tastefully on your journey.

If you would like the cortege to take a particular route, passed a club or football ground perhaps, please remember to tell us prior to the day. In most cases we will need to leave earlier to allow additional time so the cortege can travel at a dignified speed. We always endeavour to keep private cars that follow the cortege as close as possible. Sadly, other motorists are not always as courteous as they should be and consequently their prompt arrival cannot be guaranteed. Our limousines carry between 4 and six people, so give some thought as to how many people need transport on the day.
In addition to our brand new silver fleet we are able to offer a wide range of alternative vehicles such as horse drawn carriages, motorcycle hearses and limousines.

All of these different types of vehicles are available to hire to make the day more appropriate and special. Click on the links for more information about each.
