On time. Every time. A single, trusted point of contact for family cars, mourner shuttles and onward travel after the service. Calm, suited, on time — so the family never has to think about the cars. [Get My Quote](/contact) [07863 752839](tel:+447863752839) Quiet, respectful, on-time · Suited driver · Coordinated with the funeral director Free, no-obligation quote ## Quote for funeral & memorial transportation Reply within 24 hrs · Fixed price up front Quiet and respectful On time, always Coordinated with the director Family & mourner cars Discreet, suited driver Service overview ## What funeral & memorial transportation with NABs actually looks like. ### What it is Private hire to and from funeral services, crematoria, memorial services and wakes across Berkshire and Oxfordshire. Coordinated alongside the funeral director, not in competition with them. ### Who it is for Families needing additional cars for relatives, friends needing a thoughtful shuttle to a service, and anyone who wants to be driven on a difficult day rather than parking and walking in alone. ### When you need it We can be booked at very short notice. Tell us the date and venues and we'll work to fit any timing the family or director needs. ### Why professional matters Funeral days are emotional and tightly timed. A driver who is calm, dressed for the occasion and on time removes one entire category of stress from the family. What goes wrong when this isn't planned ## Get this wrong and the whole day pivots around it. Transport on a funeral day either disappears into the background, or becomes the thing that goes wrong. We make sure it's the first. ### Late-arriving cars at the chapel Crematoria slot in 30 minutes. A car running late costs the family minutes of the only service they have. ### The driver who chats Some days are not for small talk. We take our cue from the family. ### Relatives left without a lift to the wake Onward travel from chapel to reception is often where things break. We plan it as one job. ### App-booked cars on the day Funeral days are not the day for a 4.7-star app driver. They are a day for a known, professional driver. How it works ## A simple, repeatable, predictable process. 1. 1 ### Quiet first conversation We take the brief calmly — venues, timings, family numbers, any specific requests. 2. 2 ### Coordinate with the director We liaise with the funeral director so cortège timings, parking and access are aligned. 3. 3 ### Arrive early Suited driver, valeted vehicle, on the doorstep well ahead of the family. 4. 4 ### Service & cortège Drive to the chapel or church at the right pace, park as directed, wait through the service. 5. 5 ### Onward to the wake Family and any additional mourners taken on to the reception venue and, where booked, home afterwards. Why this matters ## The difference a real private hire driver makes. ### One less thing to manage Family doesn't think about cars on the day. ### Calm, respectful presence Suited driver, quiet manner, no interruption. ### Director-coordinated Timings and access aligned with the funeral director. ### Onward to the wake handled No relative left without a lift. ### Short-notice possible We work to fit the date the family needs. ### Fixed price agreed up front No discussion of money on the day itself. The detail ## How funeral & memorial transportation actually breaks down. Funeral work is treated with extra care. The detail here is what families have asked for over the years. ### Family cars to the service A clean, comfortable Mercedes-Benz E-Class (E350). Suited driver, on the doorstep early, ready to take the family at the precise time agreed with the director. ### Mourner shuttles Additional mourners often need a lift to the chapel and on to the wake — particularly elderly relatives. We run these as a quiet shuttle, scheduled around the service. ### Onward travel to the wake The wake is usually at a separate venue from the service. We coordinate the route between chapel and reception so nobody is left waiting. ### Return home & travel for guests staying away Where guests are staying in local hotels and need onward travel — including airport runs the next day for relatives from overseas — we coordinate this as part of the same booking.
