Alternative Hearses for Charity

​

A brief description of my services & why I only require a donation to charity in return

For more information about each individual service, please click on the dropdown menu headings at the top of this page

​

Based in Torquay, on the English Riviera, I provide all of the below services in South West Devon and, in certain cases, beyond. I deem it an honour and a privilege to convey a loved one to their final resting place on behalf of their family, and for that reason, I could not ask for any payment for myself for providing my services.
 

Instead, I ask that a set charitable donation, in the loved one's memory, be made to Torbay Bikers for Kids (Registered Charity No: 1200973), which raises money to purchase essential items that will help improve the lives and/or education of children who are disabled or severely ill, living in Torbay and the surrounding area in South Devon. Hundreds of children have been helped by donations given.

    Baby & Infant Hearse

This unique service was created to enable bereaved parents to travel with their loved one to the place of committal. Using either a white or a black Range Rover, the coffin rests inside the vehicle on a catafalque, with the parents sitting directly in front of it, leaving a dignified, positive, and lasting memory for them, together with the satisfaction of sharing their loved one's final journey. Smaller coffins are able to rest between both the parents on a mini-deck.

    Child's Hearse
This unique service was also created to enable bereaved parents to travel with their loved one to the place of committal. Using either a white or a black specially adapted Range Rover, the coffin rests next to one parent, with the other parent sitting in front of it, leaving a dignified, positive, and lasting memory for them, together with the satisfaction of sharing their loved one's final journey.

    White Daimler Hearse
My elegant white hearse is especially suited for the funerals of men, women, teenagers, and children. It is also ideal for those who specified they wanted their funeral to be a reflection of their life.

    Motorcycle Hearse 
A 2.9 litre V6 custom-built black three-wheeled motorcycle draws a specially made open-top black bier, on which the coffin rests. I created this service so families can give their loved one the send-off every biker deserves.

​

    HM Armed Forces Hearse

The closest there is to conveying a coffin on a horse-drawn gun carriage, as used at state and ceremonial funerals. A black Range Rover with the tri-service crest on the doors draws an open-top bier on which the coffin rests, draped by a large Union flag. This unique method of honouring our military personnel and veterans in a procession to their place of committal will leave a lasting memory for family, friends, and comrades attending.

​

    Range Rover Hearse
For those who in life enjoyed four-wheel-drive vehicles and/or the countryside, or those who worked the land, I have two specially adapted Range Rovers, one in black and one in white, available for your loved one's final journey. Both Range Rovers are able to accommodate an adult coffin, which is carried in privacy behind tinted glass.  

    Football Supporter's Hearse
For those who in life passionately supported a particular football club, my football supporter's hearse would be perfect for their final journey by giving them the ultimate send-off and showing all in attendance their love for the club they supported. The hearse carries the club's name and crest on its front, sides & rear. The coffin, which is draped with the club's flag, rests on a grass deck, and there are other features also, all tailored around their beloved club.
 

    Rainbow Hearse
The white Daimler hearse can be decorated in rainbow colours to celebrate and to reflect on the loved one's life. 

​

    Boat Hearse

For those who in life enjoyed the sea, rivers, or lakes and/or associated sports, pastimes, or careers, being conveyed to their final resting place on a specially adapted boat drawn by a black Range Rover is the perfect send-off for them.

 

    Traditional Black Hearse
If a family requires a traditional British hearse, I am able to provide a black Daimler XJ 4.0 Super V8 hearse coach-built by Wilcox with a driver, should the need ever arise.

   

    Family Funeral Cars 
I can provide either a black or a white luxury Range Rover with a driver that can seat up to four passengers per vehicle to be used to transport families in the funeral procession and afterwards if required. 

    Escorted Ashes Transportation
With this bespoke service, the ashes of the family's loved one are personally transported in a specially adapted black or white Range Rover to ensure they are treated with the greatest dignity and respect.
 

    Victorian Hand Bier

This hand bier has been fully refurbished and lengthened for use in the modern era whilst still keeping its traditional features. ​

   
    Ashes Scattering by Aerial Launcher

Using this unique ashes launcher, custom-built in the USA, which can be programmed to send your loved one's ashes up to 100 ft into the sky, then gracefully fall and disperse onto the land or water, whilst you watch and even film the event.
