Funeral cars how many seats

Fully air-conditioned and with all the latest equipment, this is a vehicle of the highest comfort and reliability. Our fleet also includes discreet funeral ambulances designed for the collection of a deceased from the place of death and bespoke vehicles at Harbour View which enable transportation of the deceased around the crematorium and Woodland Burial Ground. We are often asked to provide vehicles of a different type or colour and we will always do our best to facilitate such requests via our contacts.

There are many variations on the motor hearse. To name but a few, we have arranged horse-drawn hearse, motorbike or trike hearse, hearse of colours other than black, vintage Rolls Royce hearse; we have even arranged a flat-bed lorry. This ensures that the family are not charged for something they may not need or want.

The charges for limousines are fully inclusive to cover the address at which your family require to be picked up, through to your final destination. Each limousine will carry up to six mourners, occasionally we may be able to offer a seventh seat next to the driver, please discuss this with us if it is required. As an alternative to the traditional limousine, we are able to offer regular passenger vehicles. This option is available to those who do not need to transport as many people, would prefer a more discreet vehicle, or simply to keep costs down, as we offer these funeral cars at a reduced cost compared to a traditional limousine.

As a new addition to our fleet, we are now able to offer the use of a Jaguar I-Pace, an all-electric vehicle, charged from renewable electricity sources, for those who wish to lower their environmental impact and to complement green funeral arrangements. While we are not currently able to offer an 'eco-hearse' from within our fleet, it is something we are looking into for the future, but it is possible to hire one for a specific request.

The first vehicle you may encounter is the removal car, or hearsette. This is used to move the deceased from their home, nursing home or hospital back to our Chapel of Rest.
