A local Funeral Directors is now offering bereaved families the chance to be among the first in the country to use a state-of-the-art electric hearse and limousine based on a Ford Mustang Mach E for their loved ones’ final journeys.

Clients of Elizabeth Way and Company Funeral Directors, on Stamford Street in Mossley, can now request the use of the carbon neutral, luxury vehicles which boast a smooth, comfortable ride while offering all the benefits and innovations found in modern electric cars.

Crucially, this includes noiseless operation, making them ideally suited for use at funeral services.

Elizabeth Way and Company is part of the Funeral Partners family of businesses, who were the first company in the UK to begin offering this style of electric hearse last year.

Funeral Director Pauline Lawrence said: “It is a privilege to be able to offer these cars to the families who choose to arrange funerals with us.

“These cars really are remarkable.

"They look exceptional and have the quiet dignity we value so highly.

“The hearse has plenty of room for personal floral tributes and the limousine has ample space for seven passengers to travel to a service.

“By offering these environmentally conscious options, we are meeting the evolving needs of our clients and contributing to a more sustainable future.

“More and more people are becoming environmentally aware so it is great we can offer this service.”
