Families usually arrange a funeral within a few days, while grieving and facing many decisions at once. Funeral transportation in Orange County should be one decision that is easy to make and then easy to set aside.
Classique Worldwide Transportation provides a quiet, private vehicle for the immediate family. We also run shuttles for extended family and friends and pick up relatives arriving from out of town. Our office takes funeral limo service requests 24/7. Every chauffeur passes background checks and trains to drive with care and discretion.
The funeral director sets the timing of the day. That includes when the family arrives, when the service begins and when the procession leaves. We build our schedule around theirs. Share the funeral home’s contact details, and we will confirm timing with the funeral director ourselves. The family does not have to pass messages back and forth.
A typical day has several legs. The family rides from home to the funeral home or place of worship, then on to the cemetery. After the burial, the family goes to a reception and finally home. We plan each leg in advance. When you book by the hour, the vehicle stays with the family for the whole day.
Traditionally, the family vehicle follows directly behind the hearse, with guests’ cars behind it. The funeral director decides the exact order and gives the instructions at the funeral home or church. Our chauffeur follows those instructions, holds the family vehicle in its place and drives at the procession’s pace.
At the cemetery, the chauffeur parks where the funeral staff directs and waits. There is no rush at the graveside. The vehicle leaves when the family is ready.
Consider a family whose Mass takes place at their parish in one city. The burial follows at Holy Sepulcher Cemetery on Santiago Canyon Road in Orange, run by Orange County Catholic Cemeteries. We pick the family up at home, wait at the church and join the procession to the cemetery. A second, larger vehicle carries guests from the church and follows the procession. Older relatives then avoid driving across the county on a difficult day.
Family members often fly in on short notice. Our airport transfers bring them to a hotel or the family home. We can then drive them to the service as part of the same plan. Relatives may land at John Wayne Airport or at LAX. Send us their flight numbers, and our team follows any changes to arrival times.
To prepare a plan and a quote, our office needs a few details:
The quote depends on the vehicles, the number of hours or transfers, the addresses and the date. Our quote form lists funeral services as its own service type, and you can always call us instead.
Privacy matters most for the immediate family. The Lincoln MKT Stretch Limousine seats up to 9 and has a privacy divider, so the family can ride without being on display. A smaller family, or a spouse with one or two companions, may prefer the Cadillac Escalade, with tinted rear windows and leather seating.
Guests moving between the service, the cemetery and the reception can ride together in the 27 Passenger Mini Coach. It keeps the group on the same schedule as the family car. Our in-house crew inspects every vehicle daily, and each one carries bottled water. You can view our limousines and their interiors before you call.
Should the family car pick us up at home or meet us at the funeral home?
Leaving home together in the family car keeps everyone on the same schedule, so we usually suggest it. If the funeral director asks the family to arrive separately, we follow that plan.
Can you help if the service takes place outside Orange County?
Yes. Our offices cover Orange County, Los Angeles County and the Inland Empire. For a service elsewhere in the United States or in Europe, we arrange the ride through our partners in over 600 cities.
Our team will listen first, then build the transportation plan around the funeral home’s schedule. Reserve online or request a quote, call (714) 288-8853, or email sales@classiquelimo.com.
