Eco-friendly Funeral Transport

About Eco-friendly Hearses and Transport for Funerals

For those who are mindful of their carbon footprint and who want to explore greener transport options, here are some ideas about how you can do this. From electric and hybrid hearses and cars or bicycles, to push-bikes and handcarts, read on to find out more.

Electric Funeral Hearses

Electric and hybrid hearses and funeral cars are now more widely available. They are quiet, have lower emissions than traditional hearses that run on fossil fuels, and provide a modern, green funeral transport option.

Bicycle Hearses

Traditional bicycles hearses or electric-assisted bicycle hearses are now widely available. For a cycling enthusiast or for someone who wants a calm, quiet and ecologically sound form of transport, this may be perfect.

Horse-drawn Carriage

A classic and elegant option, the horse-drawn hearse is a long-time favourite. It provides a slower-paced and stylish form of transport.

Handcarts for Coffins

Perfect for natural burials or home burials, these beautiful handcarts are an elegant, calm and eco-friendly way to transport the coffin.

Public Transport or Carpooling

Encouraging mourners to carpool or use public transport can reduce the overall carbon footprint of the funeral, particularly if it being held some distance away. Your funeral director or funeral arranger may be able to help you to organise this, or enlist family and friends to co-ordinate things.
