Must a casket be transported to the cemetery in a hearse?
While a hearse or casket coach is most commonly used for this purpose, other options are often appropriate. Families might consider more personalized and meaningful options; for example, a fire fighter may be transported on a fire truck, or a motorcycle enthusiast’s casket may ride on a motorcycle sidecar hearse. One popular option, especially when the funeral and burial are taking place in the same cemetery, is to use a beautiful horse-drawn hearse or caisson. Please ask your funeral director for availability of these specialized services.Â
