Family Funeral Service has marked a new chapter in its operations with the delivery of two Mercedes-Benz Exclusive Premium 214 vehicles, beginning a significant fleet transformation for the independent funeral director.
The Kent-based business, which operates from Five locations across Maidstone, Headcorn, and the Medway towns, has invested in a plug-in hybrid hearse and matching limousine, both finished in Ford Magnetic Grey. The hearse features a glass roof, dark grey deck, and illuminated signage, whilst the limousine boasts a panoramic glass roof. A third vehicle – another limousine – is already on order for delivery in early 2026.
Led by second-generation funeral director Michael Lawrence Dip FD, Family Funeral Service has built a reputation for providing personalised, caring service to families across Maidstone and the surrounding villages, including the Medway towns. The new fleet investment reflects the business’s commitment to combining traditional values with forward-thinking service.
Family Funeral Service has chosen Coleman Milne for the Second time, investing in brand new vehicles as part of a complete fleet transformation. The Mercedes 214 models replace the business’s existing fleet of Volvo’s and Ford Mondeos, marking a transformative shift in their operations.
The move to plug-in hybrid technology represents a significant investment in the future of funeral service, combining reduced emissions for local communities. This complete fleet demonstrates Family Funeral Service’s commitment to environmental responsibility whilst maintaining the highest standards of service for the families they serve.
