Transport

Final journey in style

Our modern and distinguished looking Silver Fleet of Jaguars was introduced in the early 1990’s and the well-known colour has remained the same since. These impressive vehicles are very much recognised as part of our own signature to a funeral.

Nicholas O'Hara Funeral Directors can explain all the options available to you for the funeral cortege, should you choose to have one. In a traditional cortege the deceased in the coffin will travel from the funeral directors in a modern hearse to a location of your choice, via a chosen route or direct to the service venue and then on to the committal location if it’s different. Guest and family members would travel behind the hearse in a limousine, alternative hired transportation or in their own vehicles.

Our fleet

Hearse

Our two silver Jaguar Pilato Queen II hearses are very unique. They were both built and finished to our own specifications. The bodywork was designed and made by Pilato of Italy and each hearse has a an English pull-out deck made by Superior UK to our exact specifications. They are a stunning pair of vehicles and still very rare in the UK.

Limousines

Along with our two hearses we have two silver Jaguar Imperial 6 door limousines, which can comfortably accommodate 5-6 mourners. These were again built and designed by Pilato, Italy and were we believe the first Jaguar limousines made outside of the UK. They have comfort seating arrangements, glass roofs to allow more light into the vehicle and raising suspension. We will collect you from your designated start point and return you there or to an after funeral reception at your chosen venue. Other limousines can be hired if required, but sufficient notice should be given.

Private ambulance

Our private ambulance is based on a Mercedes Vito and is finished in the company’s fleet colour of silver. This vehicle have been internally designed by Superior UK to our own specifications so that we may conduct the collection of a deceased loved one and carry all necessary items for this, so that it is always done in a dignified manner.
