Funeral Motorcycle Hire
A Respectful Final Escort
For someone who loved motorcycles, the road, or simply the freedom that came with riding, a motorcycle can provide a fitting and deeply personal addition to their final journey.
Harley Pillion Funeral Hire offers a dignified Harley-Davidson motorcycle escort for funerals, memorial services and celebrations of life across Kent and surrounding areas.
The service is discreet, respectful and tailored to the wishes of the family.
Whether riding ahead of the hearse, accompanying the funeral procession, or providing a motorcycle presence on arrival at the service, the aim is simple: to help create a farewell that reflects the person being remembered.
Harley-Davidson Funeral Escort
Our Harley-Davidson Road King provides a distinctive but dignified presence within a funeral cortege.
Depending on your requirements, the motorcycle can:
Lead the funeral procession
Ride immediately ahead of the hearse
Accompany the cortege to the funeral service
Escort the procession from the family home or funeral directors
Attend the crematorium, cemetery or memorial venue
Form part of a motorcycle-themed funeral
Join other motorcycles taking part in the procession
Remain at the venue for photographs or as part of the tribute
Every funeral is different, so arrangements can be made around the family's wishes and the funeral director's requirements.
For Riders, Bikers and Motorcycle Enthusiasts
For many people, motorcycling is much more than a hobby.
It can represent friendships, independence, adventure and a lifetime of memories.
When somebody has spent years riding motorcycles, being part of a motorcycle club, attending rallies or simply enjoying life on two wheels, including a motorcycle in their funeral procession can be particularly meaningful.
A Harley-Davidson escort can provide a subtle acknowledgement of that part of their life without overpowering the solemnity of the occasion.
Working With Funeral Directors
We are happy to work directly with your chosen funeral director to coordinate the arrangements.
This can include agreeing:
The starting location
Cortege departure time
The planned route
Position within the procession
Arrival arrangements
Crematorium or cemetery procedures
Any particular tribute requested by the family
Once instructed, we can liaise with the funeral director so that the family has one less practical matter to worry about.
A Service Tailored to the Family
There is no fixed formula for a funeral escort.
Some families simply want the Harley to lead the hearse for the final journey.
Others may want a longer motorcycle procession involving family members, friends or members of a motorcycle club.
We will discuss what you have in mind and, where practical and safe to do so, arrange the service around those wishes.
If there is a particular road, meeting point, motorcycle club, pub, home, workplace or other location that held special significance, it may also be possible to incorporate it into the planned route.
Professional and Respectful
Funeral work requires considerably more than simply turning up on a motorcycle.
Timing, presentation and coordination matter.
The motorcycle and rider will be presented appropriately for the occasion, and the service will be conducted professionally and respectfully throughout.
Where required, we will arrive in sufficient time to speak with the funeral director and confirm the arrangements before the cortege departs.
Funeral Escort Prices
Because funeral arrangements can vary considerably depending upon location, travelling distance, waiting time and the type of escort required, Funeral Hire is individually quoted.
Contact us with the date, location and approximate requirements and we will provide a clear price before you book.
There is no obligation to proceed.
