There are occasions when a limo is fitting for a funeral service. Typically, one or two family limousines convey the immediate family from the church to the graveside or from the funeral home to the church and then to the graveside.
In times of grief, it's comforting to entrust the driving to a professional funeral limo driver who is kind and courteous. A uniformed chauffeur is assigned to each funeral, waiting by the vehicle during services, assisting passengers as needed.
Funeral limos are usually black stretch limos, accommodating 10 passengers or fewer. Options include the black Lincoln Town Car and various black stretch limos, depending on the family's preferences and the procession's size.
Not all funeral homes have limousines, so it's advisable to contact a funeral limousine company for pricing. A reliable company can provide a funeral limousine within the required timeframe, typically within a couple of days.
The typical arrangement involves the limousine picking up the family at the funeral home, following the hearse to the church. In some instances, arrangements can be made to pick up the family at their residence, transporting them to the funeral home, the church, and then to the graveside ceremony.
Many stretch limos feature couch seating, allowing the family to comfort each other during this challenging time. For smaller families, a Lincoln Town Car is sufficient, offering elegance for the funeral procession.
Following the church portion of the funeral, the priest or individual presiding over the ceremony may ride in the limousine with the family to the graveside or the next phase of the funeral. After a graveside ceremony, some gather for a luncheon or at someone's home to celebrate the life of the deceased, with the limo providing transportation to the predetermined location.
