Hire a Fire Engine Instead of the Funeral Hearse

Hire one of our vintage or modern fire engines to carry your loved one on their final journey. The casket is carried on a specially made platform with rollers, which fits onto the fire engine.

We work directly with the funeral directors so as not to trouble the grieving family.

Recent funerals where our fire engines have assisted:

October 2011: Coventry

Testimonial from Rob Bell and family:

"Hi Ron, thank you very much for everything you did on the day and before. It went down a storm, still people stop me and say how lovely it was and a great send off could not have done this without you and your crew. My mom still cannot get over how this is the only time she has been to a funeral and it has been so nice and the best way to send her loved one on their final journey and that the touch of the turn table made the day easier for some I can't wait to see the rest of the pics you took. Once again Ron and your crew thank you very very much for all you have done."

December 2010: Henry Thomas
