FUNERAL VEHICLES

As the final journey of the deceased, the cortege can be a touching and emotional part of the funeral service. Many families take this as an opportunity to create a truly unique tribute, choosing a custom mode of transportation to reflect the life and interests of their loved one. 

At Gaunts of Wollaston, we offer a range of transportation options for the funeral cortege, choose from the latest Pilato Mercedes Hearse and Limousine fleet, a Horse Drawn Carriage or even the increasingly popular Motorcycle Hearse. Please ask your Funeral Director for further details.
