Funeral Car Hire
A Calm, Quiet Car for the Family
A funeral is not an occasion for presentation. The car arrives plain, with no ribbon, no flowers on the bonnet and no branding, and the chauffeur stays in the background. The only job is to get the family there together, early and without anything else to think about.
We take the timings from your funeral director rather than asking the family to relay them, then fall in with the cortege for the journey to the service. The chauffeur waits through the service and the committal, and drives on to the wake when you are ready to leave.
Collections from several addresses before the service are normal and are planned in, so relatives arriving from different homes still reach the chapel at the same time.
Services offered
- Plain Presentation: Dark or pearl bodywork, no dressing, no signage. A dark suit for the chauffeur and no conversation unless invited.
- Timings from Your Director: We speak to the funeral director directly and take the cortege order and departure times from them.
- Discreet Chauffeur: Experienced with funerals. Doors held, arms offered where needed, and otherwise out of the way.
- Up to 7 Mourners: Saloon for four, or the V-Class for seven with a low step in for older relatives.
- Multiple Collections: Relatives collected from several addresses before the service, arriving together.
- Waiting Included: The car stays with the family for the service, the committal and the journey on to the wake.
How booking works
- Tell Us the Details: The date, the chapel or crematorium, and your funeral director. We take the rest from them.
- We Plan the Day Quietly: Collections, cortege position and waiting are agreed in advance and confirmed in writing.
- We Stay With You: From the first collection to the wake, the same car and the same chauffeur throughout.
