Our Funeral Cars
We give you a better look at our Funeral Cars and show you what you can expect from Australia’s finest fleet of funeral vehicles.
Funeral vehicles eliminate the stress of transport before and after a funeral service.
They can provide families with a much-needed space of solace between venues, help them to say their farewells in their own way, and can add another layer of personalisation to a funeral.
For additional information relating to our fleet or for any assistance with arranging a funeral or alternative transport options, please call our 24 Hour Funeral Advice Line.
At Tobin Brothers Funerals we take great pride in maintaining our fleet of vehicles and have various options to choose from. For some families the make, style or colour of our vehicles can be an important aspect when planning a funeral, for others, simply having a reliable means of transport with their own personal driver allows them more space to focus on the day itself.
Speak to your funeral planner about your plans for the service and whether you require additional vehicles, need to consider family with mobility issues, or any other queries at all.
All vehicle prices are inclusive of GST.
It is important to note that from time to time we do need to hire additional vehicles for client families and we will always endeavour to ensure that these vehicles are complementary to our fleet.

We offer a range of funeral vehicles, including hearses, mourning cars, and coaches.
These vehicles are designed to provide a dignified and respectful transport service for your family and for your loved one's final journey.
A cortege is an organised and solemn parade of vehicles during a funeral, showing respect to the deceased and accompanying them to their final resting place.
While different families and cultures may have specific customs related to cortege arrangements, it is generally led by the hearse, and followed by close family and friends in their own vehicles.
Not only is it a formal and respectful way to say goodbye, but it is another way that mourners can come together and honour their loved one.
While it is certainly not compulsory to use a funeral vehicle, it is something we recommend to all of our client families.
Not only is it logistically easier, eliminating a significant area of stress on the day, but it is also safer, as
One hearse is included in the Tobin Brothers professional service fee.
