The person who died will be transported in one of our chauffeur driven hearses directly to the service or place of committal. For a personalised funeral, you can choose to have a particular processional route and alternative hearses are available.

Limousines

We can provide as many chauffeur driven limousines from our luxury fleet to provide families with comfort and refinement for a dignified occasion. All of our vehicles are maintained in pristine condition.

Our consultants can help you create a fitting memorial. We work closely with local crematoria and burial sites to understand the guidelines and restrictions they impose, ensuring your tribute will be in keeping with their regulations.
