Funeral vehicles and fleet

In 2020 we invested in a new fleet of hand crafted Jaguar vehicles, and we are proud to have been the first company in East Durham to offer them.

Our silver Jaguar fleet

Our vehicles are silver Jaguar XFs, built to our own requirements, and Jaguar hearses are synonymous with classic British elegance.

Each of our chauffeur driven limousines comfortably seats seven family members. We will collect you from your chosen starting point and return you there, or take you on to the reception at your chosen venue. Additional limousines can be hired if you need them.

Something a little different

As well as a traditional procession, we can arrange alternative transport, including a horse drawn hearse, a motorcycle hearse or a Land Rover. See alternative hearses.

Excellent 5.0 out of 5 from 312 reviews on Trustpilot (as shown on Trustpilot, 9 November 2026)

The professionalism in which the service was carried out from start to finish by all the East Durham Funeral Service staff were exemplary, the notification of service, order of service, the cars and drivers, pall bearers the spread for the wake afterwards, the keepsake cards afterwards for the family, all the smallest of details made by all the staff to make a sad event more bearable.
