Complete Funeral Transportation Services We Provide

Royal Carriage Limousine offers complete funeral transportation packages designed to accommodate every aspect of memorial services in the Chicago metropolitan area. Our services cover the entire journey from beginning to end, ensuring no family member is left without a comfortable, reliable ride.

Family Procession Transportation

The funeral procession is one of the most important traditions in honoring the deceased. Our professional chauffeurs coordinate with funeral directors to ensure your family’s vehicles are positioned correctly in the procession line. We maintain proper spacing, follow all traffic protocols, and ensure a smooth, dignified journey from the funeral home or church to the cemetery. Our drivers are familiar with every major cemetery in the Chicago area, including Rosehill Cemetery, Graceland Cemetery, Oak Woods Cemetery, Bohemian National Cemetery, Mount Carmel Cemetery, and Queen of Heaven Cemetery.

Airport Pickup for Out-of-Town Family Members

When family members fly in from across the country for a funeral, the last thing they need is the stress of getting through rideshares or rental cars while grieving. We provide dedicated airport pickup service from O’Hare International Airport and Midway Airport, bringing your loved ones directly to the hotel, funeral home, or family residence. Our drivers hold name signs, assist with luggage, and provide a calm, private environment during the ride. To arrange airport pickups for family, visit our airport transportation page or call (224) 801-3090.

Church-to-Cemetery Transfers

Many Chicago-area funerals involve services at a church or place of worship followed by burial at a cemetery that may be miles away. Our vehicles provide comfortable, climate-controlled transportation between these locations, keeping the immediate family together during this emotional journey. We handle routing, timing, and coordination with the funeral director so everything flows smoothly.

Repast and Reception Transportation

After the burial, many families gather for a repast — a meal or reception to celebrate the life of the deceased. We transport family members from the cemetery to the repast venue, whether it is a restaurant, banquet hall, church basement, or family home. Popular repast venues we serve include locations throughout Chicago, the North Shore, and the western suburbs.

Vehicle Options for Funeral Transportation

Every family has different needs when it comes to funeral transportation. Royal Carriage Limousine offers a range of vehicles to accommodate groups of any size, ensuring comfort and dignity throughout the day.

Executive Sedans

Our luxury sedans are ideal for transporting two to three passengers in quiet comfort. These vehicles are perfect for immediate family members, elderly relatives, or VIP guests who need private, door-to-door service. Our sedans feature leather interiors, tinted windows for privacy, and a smooth, quiet ride. Starting at approximately $85 per hour, executive sedans offer an affordable yet dignified option for smaller groups.

Luxury SUVs

For families of four to six passengers, our luxury SUVs provide additional space and comfort. The Cadillac Escalade and similar premium SUVs offer higher seating, extra legroom, and ample cargo space for flowers or personal items. SUV service starts at approximately $95 per hour and is one of our most popular funeral transportation options.

Stretch Limousines

The traditional stretch limousine remains the most popular choice for funeral transportation, accommodating six to ten passengers in a single vehicle. This keeps the immediate family together throughout the entire service, from the funeral home to the cemetery to the repast. Our stretch limousines feature privacy partitions, soft leather seating, climate control, and a solemn, elegant exterior. Stretch limo funeral packages start at approximately $125 per hour with a three-hour minimum.

Sprinter Vans and Mini Coaches

For larger families or when extended relatives need transportation, our Mercedes Sprinter vans accommodate 10 to 14 passengers, and our mini coaches seat up to 25. These are excellent choices when multiple family members are traveling together from the same location. View our full selection on our fleet page.

Chicago Cemetery Routes We Serve

Our drivers are intimately familiar with the major cemeteries throughout the Chicago metropolitan area and the best routes to reach them, even during heavy traffic. We regularly provide funeral transportation to and from the following cemeteries and many more:

On the North Side: Rosehill Cemetery (Chicago’s largest), Graceland Cemetery, Montrose Cemetery, and St. Boniface Cemetery. On the South Side: Oak Woods Cemetery, Mount Greenwood Cemetery, Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, and Cedar Park Cemetery. In the western suburbs: Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Hillside, Mount Carmel Cemetery in Hillside, Woodlawn Cemetery in Forest Park, and Forest Home Cemetery in Forest Park. On the North Shore: Memorial Park Cemetery in Skokie, Shalom Memorial Park in Arlington Heights, and All Saints Cemetery in Des Plaines.

No matter which cemetery your family has chosen, our chauffeurs plan routes in advance, account for construction and traffic, and ensure your family arrives on time and stress-free.

Funeral Home Partnerships Across Chicago

Royal Carriage Limousine works closely with funeral homes throughout the Chicago area to provide coordinated transportation services. Our team communicates directly with funeral directors to confirm timelines, procession logistics, and special requests. We have established relationships with funeral homes across the city and suburbs, and our chauffeurs understand the protocols and expectations of each location.

If your funeral home does not offer limousine service directly, or if you prefer to arrange your own transportation, we are happy to coordinate with any funeral director in the Chicago area. Simply provide us with the funeral home’s contact information, and we will handle the rest. Call (224) 801-3090 to get started.

Funeral Transportation Etiquette

Procession Protocol: During the funeral procession, our vehicles display funeral flags and maintain proper spacing. All vehicles keep headlights on. Our drivers follow the lead vehicle from the funeral home and maintain the procession line. Gratuity: While gratuity is always appreciated, it is never expected during funeral services. Our chauffeurs are compensated fairly, and families should never feel pressured during this sensitive time. Special Requests: We accommodate any special requests, including specific music preferences, temperature settings, route preferences, or stops along the way. Please communicate any needs when booking.
