A hearse is a vehicle provided by J E Hackett & Sons that are used to carry the coffin from the family or funeral home to the funeral service, and then onto either the cemetery or crematorium.

We promise to make sure every aspect of your loved one’s funeral is personal, and that includes their final journey.

We have a smart traditional fleet of Black Daimler and Jaguar Hearses, and take immense pride in maintaining them to the highest standard. Alternative and specialised modes of transport are also available on request.

We also have traditional following Black Daimler or Jaguar Limousines each carrying six mourners or seven if one person sits in the front with the driver.

In addition to the Funeral Director who will be available on the day of the funeral, there will also be drivers and pallbearers. All JE Hackett & Sons staff will be stunningly presented to carry out your loved one’s funeral.
