Alternative Funeral Vehicles
Alternative Funeral Vehicles
Using an alternative hearse within funeral packages is becoming more popular. What was once a niche market, unusual hearses are now setting a trend for send-offs, with one in fifteen funerals held within the UK featuring a non-traditional hearse.
A growing number of requests now reflect the interests or jobs of the deceased, with popular requests ranging from motorbike or tractor hearses, to horse drawn and TV series themed hearses.
Here at Bate & Holland we have contact with various unusual and customised hearse companies. Please see below a few examples of our "unique" funeral vehicles. Should you have any requests regarding alternative hearses, please contact us and we will be more than happy to help.
