Our vehicles are Black Jaguar XJ Limousines which seat up to 6 in the back, and depending on the circumstances you may be able to use the front passenger seat also to allow you to seat 7 in each vehicle.
The limousine would remain until the end of the service and return you to an address of your choice.
There are certain services provided by third parties that are essential for the funeral to go ahead.
These are the Crematorium, Cemetery or Churchyard fees, as well as fees for a Minister or Celebrant to lead the service.
Your written estimate will include these items which are payable to the third party. We require payment of the third party costs prior to the funeral to secure these services on your behalf.
There are many ways to personalise a funeral, such as printed Order of Service booklets, a photo slideshow during the service, musicians, or a dove release. and we will talk to you about the different options.
If you have an idea or something in particular in mind, please let us know and we’ll do everything we can to accommodate your wishes.
