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.
