Home / Funeral car hire
Funeral car hire in London, handled with care.
Calm, punctual chauffeur-driven cars for family and mourners, to the service, the crematorium and the wake. One less thing to organise on a difficult day.
3 hours minimum per car. Fixed price, no VAT added. The chauffeur waits throughout, at no extra cost within your booked time.
What we provide
Black executive cars with a professional, soberly dressed chauffeur, for the immediate family and for guests. We collect from the family home or several addresses, wait quietly outside the church, crematorium or cemetery, and take everyone on to the wake or reception.
We do not provide a hearse. We are happy to work alongside your funeral director and follow their timings on the day.

- We confirm the cars and the fixed price, usually within the hour
- Chauffeur names and mobile numbers sent the day before
- On the day, the cars arrive early and wait as long as needed within your booking
- If timings change, we adjust. Extra time is charged at the hourly rate
On the day
Punctual
Cars arrive early, so nobody is waiting on the kerb and the procession leaves on time.
Discreet
Quiet, respectful chauffeurs in dark suits. No conversation expected, and no rush.
Flexible
Several pickup points, a cortège to follow, or guests to collect from a station. We plan around the day.

Questions
How many people can travel in each car?
Business Class and First Class cars take up to 3 passengers. The Business Van (Mercedes V-Class) takes up to 7, which suits a larger family travelling together.
Can the cars follow the hearse?
Yes. Our chauffeurs can follow the funeral director’s hearse as part of the cortège, at the pace they set.
Can we have a classic car for the family?
Yes. Our 1964 Rolls-Royce Phantom V can carry the closest family, with modern Mercedes cars for other mourners. It is priced separately: see the Phantom V.
Do you provide a hearse?
No. We provide cars for the family and mourners only, and work alongside your chosen funeral director.
How much notice do you need?
As much as possible, but we can often help at a few days’ notice. Call us and we will tell you straight away.
