Funeral transport

The hearse and the cars following it are called the cortege. There are some things you may wish to consider when making arrangements for transport to and from the funeral:

• Would you prefer a motor or horse-drawn hearse? An additional hearse may also be required to carry the flowers. 
• What type of hearse would you prefer? Would you like a standard hearse or something more unusual such as a motor-cycle hearse or a horse-drawn hearse? 
• How many limousines will be needed? (most can carry 6 people) 
• Where will the cortege leave from? 
• Will it take a special route? 
• Where will you return to? 
• Will you require wheelchair access?

There are many transport options and will discuss these options with you when arranging a funeral. Our funeral directors can make all transport arrangements on your behalf, whatever your wishes.
