Vehicles
Our vehicles are part of the care we bring to a funeral. They’re well-maintained, chosen to suit the occasion, and driven with the utmost respect. From the moment the hearse arrives to the moment it departs, we take the transportation of your loved one seriously.
Our Fleet
Lamb & Hayward operates a fleet of custom-built hearses, giving families a choice of vehicle to suit the style of the service.
Cadillac hearses: our contemporary Cadillac hearses bring a modern elegance to the funeral procession. They’ve become a hallmark of Lamb & Hayward services and suit both traditional and contemporary funerals.
Ford Lincoln hearses:Â a classically styled hearse with a traditional appearance, suited to families who prefer a more understated design.
Your funeral director will advise on availability and help you choose what feels right.
The Funeral Procession
The hearse travels from the funeral venue to the cemetery, crematorium, or another chosen location. Family members often follow in their own vehicles or in a separately arranged family car.
If you’d like family vehicles to follow the hearse in a procession, your funeral director can help coordinate the arrangements, ensuring everyone knows where to go and what to expect.
Alternative and Personalised Options
Some families choose a vehicle that reflects the person they’re remembering â perhaps a tractor or farm vehicle, a classic car, a motorcycle, or something associated with their work or hobbies.
If you have something specific in mind, talk to us. We’ll do our best to accommodate your wishes or put you in touch with someone who can.
Itâs Your Choice
Our flexible funeral options allow you to create a farewell that reflects your loved oneâs unique character â in whatever way feels right for your family.
