We are now able to offer the hearse with two following VW buses.

Affectionately known as 'Casper' our 1963 21 window Samba bus is fully restored and available for funeral hire to transport mourners. He is painted Candy white. Ribbons can be applied if required. ( This vehicle is limited to a maximum distance from our base of up to 70 miles depending on weather )

This split screen bus is perfect to follow the Volkswagen Bay Hearse for an extremely memorable and unique final tribute.

'Casper' can seat up to 6 passengers.

The friendly nature and look of the Volkswagen may help at the very sad event of a funeral. A fleet of formal looking black funeral vehicles can be quite frightening for children, the white paint work makes our fleet very approachable and easier for children to cope with if they are attending the funeral. We are always happy for you to have time with the cars after the funeral for photographs etc.

This Bus is 48 years old and is not suitable for extreme weather conditions. Contact us for advise during winter months.

We have added our new white Bay bus to the fleet which is now available.

We can apply a single black ribbon (or other colours) to the front of the vehicles if required.

If you have specific requests please ask, we will do our very best to cater for your needs. Perhaps there's a special place that you may wish to drive to on the way to the church, maybe somewhere that they loved or lived or worked as long as we allow adequate time prior to the ceremony/ burial or cremation we may be able to cater for this.

Our drivers dress in formal funeral attire, if you do not wish for the drivers to dress in black please advise. 

This amazing 'show winning' Bus known as 'Otis'  has just been fully restored and is in A1 condition, and is available for funeral hire. 'Otis' matches the hearse perfectly.

The interior is set up with facing seats and can cater for up to 6 passengers. This vehicle may not be suitable for very small children. This vehicle is limited to a maximum 70 miles from our base weather permitting.

The vehicles are also available for wedding hire see Beetle Drive UK for details. All wedding enquiries via Beetle Drive UK please, thank you.

'Otis' here looks identical to the hearse from the front view to provide a unique stunning matching pair of funeral cars. 

When the sad occasion is a young person as it was in these photos the family decided to add his favourite colours to all 3 vehicles and the floral tributes were also in orange and yellow. It was such a shame the weather didn't reflect the colours.

This was a particularly large funeral and the majority of the mourners were young people, the cars are much less somber and frightening in this very sad situation.
