M.K. Ginder & Sons run its own fleet of coach built XJ Jaguar Hearses, Limousines and Saloon cars. We pride ourselves on our fleet and our team of drivers who will ensure that the cortege remain together on the funeral, removing the added stress and burden of driving yourselves, having to worry about parking or getting separated from the hearse.

Some families like to include the friends and neighbours of their loved ones when working out how many people they need to provide transportation for on the funeral. Dependent on the number of passengers we are able to use our fleet to make sure that you can travel together.
Our cars are driven by our trained and experienced staff.
Our drivers share a wealth of knowledge regarding the locations of Churches, Crematoria and Reception Venues, however if you wish to travel a specific route, please let us know at the earliest convenience.
Our limousines can accommodate 7 passengers, and our saloon car can take 4. This allow us to offer spaces for different numbers of mourners when arranging the funeral, and our staff will work out which vehicles would be required.
