Traditional Black Hearse

About this service and why I only require a set donation to charity for its use

I can provide a traditional black hearse together with an experienced driver in formal funeral attire, together with a cap if required, for funeral homes within the South Devon area should the need arise.

The hearse is a black Daimler XJ 4.0 Super V8 coach-built in the UK by Wilcox, who are the only authorised Daimler/Jaguar coachbuilder worldwide, and who were chosen to build the State Hearse in which Her Majesty the Late Queen Elizabeth II was conveyed. It has full-length non-tinted windows on each side of where the coffin rests so that it can be seen clearly in it entirety. The deck has a walnut finish and cover boards are fitted to it so that the maximum amount of floral and other tributes can be placed around the coffin. 

The hearse has a private registration number and does not have any business signage, but I can arrange for a pair of 12 x 3.5 inch signs with your funeral home details to be made to fit onto existing oak plinths that are on the deck. Funeral homes who regularly use the hearse choose to do this. This facility is also available for the white Daimler hearse. 

Like my alternative hearse services, I do not require payment for this service. I only ask that a set charitable donation is made to Torbay Bikers for Kids (Registered Charity No: 1200973) who raise funds 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. 225+ children have been helped from donations.
