Transport

Final journey in style

Abbotsfield Funeral Directors can explain all the options available to you for the funeral cortege, should you choose to have one. In a traditional cortege the deceased in the coffin will travel from the funeral directors in a modern hearse to a location of your choice, via a chosen route or direct to the service venue and then on to the committal location if it’s different. Guest and family members would travel behind the hearse in a limousine, alternative hired transportation or in their own vehicles.

Transport options

Things to consider…

  • Who will require transport, close family and friends and other guests?
  • The type and number of vehicles you would like
  • Who you would like to travel in the cortege
  • If there is a specific route you would like the cortege to take
  • Are you having a service and committal in two locations?
  • The arrangement and display of floral tributes
  • If you would like a unique specialist funeral cortege with alternative and unusual vehicles

 

Many people prefer the traditional motor hearse but there are now other alternatives. Abbotsfield Funeral Directors can make your funeral more personalised with choices including horse-drawn hearse options, 4×4 Land Rover, motorcycle, ‘Only Fools and Horses themed 3-wheeler’, pink, silver, white or poppy decorated hearses, a double-decker bus, a trike, a vintage lorry and VW Campervan. Please talk to us about all the options available or something specific you would like us to try and arrange for you.

I couldn't be happier with the service provided. Courteous, respectful & helpful & i can't fault them in the slightest. Jess in particular needs to be singled out for praise.

We were slightly deterred upon our first visit to your Ross-on-Wye premises by the somewhat unkempt appearance of both property and grounds but our fears were unfounded. From the outset to the day that my partner's file was finally closed, the service received was nothing…

Respect, kindness, efficiency, all words we would use to describe the service we received from Abbotsfield who arranged the funeral for my mum. Also highly recommend the Celebrant Karen Jones who was a pleasure to deal with in these sad circumstances. Thank you again!

The staff at Abbotsfield couldn't have been more supportive and helpful throughout. They made an extremely difficult situation much more bearable than it would otherwise have been.
