Funeral Transportation: When Discretion Matters Most
Funeral transportation is one of the most sensitive bookings we handle. Royal Carriage protocol:
- Black Lincoln Continental sedans — somber, traditional, appropriate
- Discreet vehicle staging — vehicles arrive before family, no horn-honking
- Quiet chauffeurs — minimal conversation, professional bearing throughout
- Multi-vehicle family coordination — single dispatch contact, simultaneous arrivals
- Schedule precision — family doesn't wait, vehicles ready 15+ min before pickup
Funeral Pricing
| Vehicle | Capacity | 4-Hour | 5-Hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lincoln Continental Sedan | 3 | $340 | $425 |
| Cadillac Escalade ESV | 6 | $460 | $575 |
| Mercedes Sprinter (extended family) | 14 | $596 | $745 |
Most funerals book 4-5 hours: family residence → funeral home → cemetery → reception.

Typical Funeral Day
- 9:30 AM — vehicles arrive at family home
- 10:00 AM — depart for funeral home
- 10:30 AM — funeral service
- 11:30 AM — procession to cemetery (Royal Carriage joins family caravan)
- 12:30 PM — graveside service
- 1:30 PM — return to family home or reception venue
- 3:00 PM — release vehicle
For extended family / out-of-town arrivals, we coordinate ORD pickups before service and drop home after.
Multi-Vehicle Family Coordination
Larger funerals need 2-4 vehicles:
- 1 Lincoln Continental for immediate family
- 1-2 Sprinters for extended family
- 1 Cadillac Escalade for elderly relatives or pallbearers
Single dispatch contact coordinates all vehicles. Simultaneous arrival at funeral home.
Religious Sensitivity
Royal Carriage chauffeurs are trained on religious-funeral protocols:
- Catholic mass — schedule precision for procession timing
- Jewish funeral + shiva — Shabbat-aware scheduling, no return-trip-during-Shabbat
- Hindu / Buddhist services — Cemetery + cremation timing
- Eastern Orthodox — extended-procession protocol
- Islamic janazah — same-day burial coordination
Why Families Stay With Royal Carriage
Funeral transportation is rarely a recurring booking. But families remember the chauffeur who handled the day with quiet dignity — and remember the operator who showed up 5 minutes late on the most stressful day of their year.
We have 60+ funeral home partnerships across the metro region. The funeral directors know which operators are reliable. Ask your funeral director — they almost certainly know us.
