Arranging a funeral
Yes. We can help arrange transport for the journey to and from the funeral service, with options available to suit your family, the type of funeral you are arranging and any individual requirements.
The journey to the funeral can provide some quiet time to reflect and pay your respects before the service begins. The hearse and the vehicles travelling with it are collectively known as the funeral cortège, and our team can help you plan how you would like this part of the day to take place.
There are different options to consider when choosing a hearse. You may prefer a traditional motor hearse or choose a horse-drawn hearse for a more traditional and distinctive journey.
Flowers and floral tributes can usually form part of the funeral procession. Depending on the number and size of the tributes, an additional hearse may be required to transport them.
Our team can talk you through the options and help you choose funeral transport that feels appropriate for your loved one.
We can also arrange limousines for close family and friends travelling to the funeral. Our modern limousines can carry up to six passengers, so we can help you consider how many vehicles you may need based on the number of people travelling together.
Using funeral limousines also means family members can travel together without having to worry about driving, parking or finding their way between locations on the day.
You can discuss where you would like the funeral cortège to leave from, where it should travel to and any particular route you would like it to take.
Some families choose to travel directly to the funeral service, while others prefer the cortège to pass a location that held particular meaning for their loved one. This could be their family home, a favourite place or a familiar Liverpool landmark.
These personal touches can make the journey a meaningful part of saying goodbye and provide another opportunity to reflect the life of the person who has died.
If you or somebody travelling with you has mobility requirements, please let us know when making the funeral arrangements. We can discuss your needs, including wheelchair access, and help you consider suitable transport options.
There are several things to consider when planning transport for a funeral, but you do not need to organise everything yourself. We can help you consider the type of hearse, the number of limousines required, accessibility and the route you would like the funeral cortège to take.
If you have any questions about funeral transport or would like to discuss the options available, please contact our 24-hour manned line on 0151 424 5432.
