HEARSE AND LIMOUSINE

transport for the funeral service

If you’d like a traditional black Jaguar hearse and limousine or something a little different, we can help you find the right vehicle for the day of the funeral.

You may want the hearse and following cars to take a special route to the funeral, passing a favourite place or view.

To travel with family and friends in an accompanying limousine can be of great comfort. Our limousines carry a maximum of 7 people along with a uniformed chauffeur.

From a traditional black hearse to a majestic horse drawn carriage or something a little different.

FUNERAL TRANSPORT

wheelchair accessible vehicle

Sometimes it’s not possible for those with mobility issues to transfer from a wheelchair into the passenger seat of a limousine. We can supply a wheelchair accessible vehicle that blends discreetly with other vehicles used as part of the funeral cortege.

REVIEWS

what our families say

During a very difficult time Turnbull’s provided a service with utmost professionalism. The team lead by Benjamin were sensitive, caring and assertive to all the family needs during all aspects of the funeral arrangements. We are forever grateful for the service provided and cannot thank them enough. If you are looking for a funeral company that genuinely cares and excels in their service, I wholeheartedly recommend E Turnbull & Son.

I cannot fault the service I received from Ben and the team. Everything was seamless and it made a very stressful time easier. My Dad was given a beautiful send off with great care and consideration. The guidance we were given throughout was first class. I would highly recommend this company for your loved ones. Thank you for your compassion.

The ability to watch my Aunties funeral live online was such a relief since I was unable to attend. Turnbull's really did a terrific job and couldn’t be faulted. Thanks to all...

I would not hesitate to recommend Turnbulls. Having sadly lost my mother in law in late 2022 and then my own mum in December 2023 both times turnbulls acted with utmost professionalism, compassion and a personal touch that made the process so much easier to cope with. You really feel as though you matter to them. Many thanks for making a difficult time, both times, that much easier.
