A 2018 Rolls-Royce Ghost, black on black, available to funeral directors across Glasgow and central Scotland — chauffeur-driven per funeral, or self-drive on your own fleet by the day, week or month. Trade rates on request; the longer you take it, the lower they go.
Some directors want us to turn up, drive, and disappear. Others would rather have the Ghost sitting in their own yard for a week, driven by their own people under their own insurance. We do both.
We meet the family at the house or chapel of rest, follow the hearse to the church or crematorium, on to the graveside and the reception. Our chauffeur, our insurance, one fixed trade price on your invoice.
The car delivered to your premises the evening before, collected after. Your driver, your fleet insurance. Ideal for the family who has asked for something more than the standard limousine.
Keep it. A week or a month on your fleet at a rate that comes down the longer you take it — or take it for the year on the 12-month lease and put it on your price list as a standing option.
One car, one funeral home, twelve months. A fixed monthly figure that covers everything except your insurance, and a lease cost that may be set against your company's profits.
Fully inclusive apart from insurance. The funeral home arranges and pays for appropriate commercial insurance; everything else — the car, delivery, servicing, valeting on handover — is in the figure. £35,400 for the year, paid monthly. One month's deposit (£2,950) is required at signing.
Enquire about the 12-month lease →How this works: the funeral home still pays £2,950 every month. The benefit comes through a potentially lower Corporation Tax bill at the year end, because the lease is a business cost — it is not HMRC refunding the lease payments.
Tax figures are illustrative only and depend on the company's profitability, tax position, vehicle treatment and eligibility. Independent advice should be obtained from a qualified accountant.
If you offered the Rolls-Royce to families at £795 — and you set your own price — the fourth upgrade of the month covers the lease. Everything after that is margin. For a firm conducting fifteen or twenty funerals a month, that is one family in four or five choosing something better than the standard limousine.
| Upgrades sold per month | Revenue at £795 | Lease | Margin* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | £3,180 | £2,950 | +£230break-even |
| 8 | £6,360 | £2,950 | +£3,410 |
| 12 | £9,540 | £2,950 | +£6,590 |
Set against what you already send: a standard following limousine is typically £150–£200 to the family, so a Rolls-Royce at £795 is roughly £600 of additional revenue per funeral over the car you would have used anyway.
*Margin shown before insurance and driver time. Figures are illustrative only and depend on your own volumes and pricing; they are not a forecast or a guarantee of income.
Access to a prestigious car from the first funeral, without buying it.
Nothing tied up in a six-figure vehicle; the money stays in the business.
No exposure to what the car is worth in three years. Hand it back.
A premium upgrade families will pay for as part of a funeral package.
One figure, twelve months. Easy to budget and easy to price into your packages.
An option the funeral home down the road cannot offer.
Dates, rate, mileage allowance, condition report on handover and return. Nothing verbal.
For day, week, month or 12-month hire the vehicle goes on your own fleet or motor-trade policy, and your own staff drive it. We will need to see the cover note before handover; the car is valued at the top end of the Ghost range.
Within central Scotland we bring the car to you and take it away, valeted, at the end of the hire.
Trade bookings are confirmed first. If a family enquires direct for a date you have provisionally held, you keep it.
Monthly invoice for regular work. Deposit on the first hire only for day, week and month bookings; one month's deposit for the 12-month lease.
Tell us your firm and roughly what you have in mind — a single funeral, the odd day, the car on your fleet for a month, or the 12-month lease — and we will come back the same day with the rates and a copy of the hire agreement.
