Wake-Reception Transport for the Wider Family
Wake and reception shuttle for extended family after a Yorkshire funeral — hotel, wake venue, and home in one coordinated day.
The day after the funeral is often when out-of-town family gather at the family home for a longer wake or reception. Chauffeur transport takes the driving stress off cousins and siblings.
Booked by the same family who used the funeral car, extended to include out-of-town relatives.
Hotel → family home / wake venue → hotel. Rotating shuttle across 4–6 hours.
The silver Mercedes-Benz V-Class is a luxury MPV seating up to 7 passengers with generous luggage space. Share passenger and luggage details when enquiring.
Wake afternoon — typically 12:00 to 18:00.
£95/hr shuttle, minimum 4 hours.
